As an artist, Cameron Johnson constantly evaluates what holds the most meaning for him. His goal is to reinforce a need for connection through positive relationships constructed in art. Johnson exhibited widely and has won numerous awards, including “Best in Show” and “First Place Painting” at the Illumina Art Exhibition in Greensville, NC. His murals can be seen in towns and cities across North Carolina, including a recent completion in Princeville’s Heritage Park to commemorate the history of Princeville.
