ViewFinder: Johnson Art Studio

Roy Johnson has been doing lighting design and manufacturing since 1974.

The first time I met Roy Johnson I was asking him for a job. The last time I saw Roy I was photographing his Watsonville shop, Johnson Art Studio, for this photo essay.

Roy is the kind of person that can make something out of nothing. His bold lighting designs and craftsmanship set him in a class that has since been fading. He and his handful of employees make everything here, in Watsonville.
