Meet Gwendolyn Johnson
Gwendolyn Johnson joined our Artist Collective in December 2014. She is from Hopkinsville, KY and was homeless for 9 years before securing housing through Urban Housing Solutions in March 2017. Gwen has been creating art since she was a child, and her favorite medium is painting on canvas. She is known for her bright colors and bold shapes.
Gwendolyn Johnson’s collection of acrylic paintings are a fitting match to her joyful and uplifting personality.

“Living in the world of homelessness, I saw a lot of evil and nastiness. So I started reflecting on what made me feel pretty. I started painting and drawing those things because if I’m creating something beautiful, then somebody’s going to catch it. And people have been!”
