Exhibition Summary

Brittany Johnson is a scratchboard artist from Virginia Beach. She hold a BFA from Virgina Commonwealth University (VCU) and a signature master membership from the International Society of Scratchboard Artist. Since the age of 15, Johnson has been enamored with all types of art mediums ranging from acrylic paint and Prismacolor markers but settled on the scratchboard medium after creating a few scratchboard portraits in 2011. She began the scratchboard technique with paper and stippling with a classic scratchboard stylus. In 2018, she decided to solely create artwork in the scratchboard medium. Johnson continues to improve her skills with a range of tools such as microblading tattoo needles, microfiber brushes and xacto knives. She depicts scenes of nature with vibrant metallics and paint in addition to the meticulous detailed textures in the composition.
