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. You can find me most First Fridays in my studio at Factory Arts District in downtown Indy.
