Keith Johnson graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with an MFA in 1975, studying with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He also spent a year at Visual Studies Workshop including studies with Nathan Lyons. Ten years of teaching led to a move to the business side of the medium, ultimately supporting his fine art making as District Sales Manager for New England for Hasselblad USA. He has shown throughout the USA and is included in collections at RISD, George Eastman House, Visual Studies Workshop, and others. He is a recipient of a Connecticut Commission on the Arts Fellowship grant for 2002. The current body of work seems to be leading toward producing a book about his travels. He lives in Hamden, CT with his wife Becky and two sons Ben and Whit.

About the work: Keith Johnson acts as a visual anthropologist who examines the bizarre and comical banalities of roadside attractions through color, form, and ironic happenstance.
