I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawing. I strive to share this passion and experience with each and every client. My education includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from Florida Atlantic University and a Masters in Art Education from Florida State University. I have been working off and on as a freelance designer since I was 17. My mural experience began in 1996 while working as
an art therapist at the Juvenile Evaluation Center in Black Mountain, NC. While there, I was commissioned to paint a tranquil waterfall scene on one of the conference room walls. This experience has continued to include many other styles and designs which can be seen in the galleries of this website. My art is not limited to murals however. As you can see from the other images in the galleries, Drawn by Darren specializes in all aspects of illustration and design. This includes but is not limited to cartoons, t-shirt designs, corporate logos, sports team reproduction, and pet portraits. All work is hand done and unique. I am proficient in most media including acrylic, pen and ink, colored pencil and graphite. My focus is on complete customer satisfaction. I work with each client extensively to capture just what they are looking for and create a one of a kind piece of art. This is achieved through a combination of one-on-one meetings, research, and numerous sketches. My goal is to give each client a lasting image that they can enjoy for many years. Please feel free to email me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,
Darren Johnson
