Bio
When Johnna was ten years old, her mother moved her from their home
in
Cartersville, Georgia and moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, where
they
stayed in the homeless shelter, the Providence House In 1994,
they
had their first real home two months before Johnna's 12th
birthday.
Johnna was shy and awkward, being picked on for being homeless,
turned
to music--she played the keyboard by ear. In high school (C. E.
Byrd!)
Johnna rediscoverd writing and fell in love with it. She wrote
mostly
stories and poetry. She started drawing out the calligraphy
letters
in the eighth and nineth grade, but it wasn't until she almost
lost
her mother to appendicitus in 2004 when she discovered her talent
for
painting.
