Artist Biography - Dennis Johnson

Dennis Johnson, a professional Lynchburg hairdresser and salon owner for 52 years, has always loved working with color and shape.  He feels that his hairstyling profession and his love of making art go hand in hand.

Dennis has exhibited and won awards at the Lynchburg Art Festival, the Bath County Art Show, and the Smith Mountain Lake Art Show, and was accepted into a Charleston, SC Guild Juried Exhibition.  Now that he has retired from hairstyling, he enjoys more time with his wife Sallie, who is his best critic, and more family time with his children and grandchildren.  He spends hours each day in his home studio experimenting with new colors and techniques.  He loves to put down a very wet color, drop in another color, and watch the magic happen…or sometimes not!

Dennis says it’s a wonderful and exciting journey!
