Scott Johnson creates artwork at Studio F60.

A Hoosier native, I began my art and design career in New York City working in graphic design and freelance illustration. My five years in NYC introduced me to a new world of galleries, museums, and culture. Returning to Indy I co-founded an award-winning design firm, Dean Johnson Design, with an emphasis on art and illustration — and a winner of the Indy Arts Council’s ARTI Award. We kept a studio in the Stutz Building and helped launch the Stutz Show before opening Dean Johnson Gallery on Mass Ave, which had a 15 year run. Today my art and design background blends commercial, graphic, and fine arts, exploring ways to engage people visually and emotionally in a positive way. You can find me most First Fridays at my studio in the CCIC in downtown Indy.
