ABOUT ME
My name is Amanei Johnson, but people refer to me by my nickname, NEMO. I was Born August 31, 2000, in Peoria, IL, and raised in the northern districts of Chicago, Illinois. I went to a different school every year of my high school education, all in the district of Illinois. I decided to continue my education, receiving my bachelor's in visual arts at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. UAPB is considered a historically black college in the southern belt. Illustration and painting are two of my main subjects, which I have enjoyed in early childhood, but I decided to pursue it seriously in my undergraduate career. I thrive through traveling and allow these experiences to inform my works; my current Masters in Painting degree program is at Alfred University which offers an international draw to Germany. This degree program will end in the spring of 2024. From thereafter, I aim to show appreciation for my lens of the human condition, as an individual in conversation with the overall collective. Artistry is an ever-changing discipline for meArtist in residencies:
