From a very early age, Rachel Johnson found she had a great passion. A passion based on her artistic philosophy that, “Every aspect of her existence is stimulus for creativity.”  To express that creativity Johnson has found that photography is her ideal form of artistic expression.

That expression will be on exhibit in the Rotunda of Murfreesboro City Hall November 19, 2013-January 3, 2014 with an Artist Meet & Greet scheduled Thursday, November 21, 2013, 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Among Johnson’s first memories of photography is her collection of personal photographs that numbered more than 40 albums by age 12. Digital collection of images followed, but not before discovering the world of opportunities available to her from behind the lens.

Her work was first published in the International Library of Photography in 1998 and she repeated the accomplishment again in 1999, 2000, and 2003.

Since then Johnson has ventured into the photography of live music performances including Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and discovered a second great passion in her life; that of travel and the opportunity to capture images from around the world including:  Bali, Belize, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Thailand. In the United States she has traveled and photographed: Tennessee, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and New York.

Johnson’s exhibit and meet & greet are free and open to the public. Murfreesboro City Hall is located at 111 W Vine Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37130 and is open 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for observed holidays.
