Join us for an inspiring conversation with Charleston-based artist, author, and wellness facilitator Christine D. Johnson as she discusses Art Journey to Inner Peace—a multi-sensory exhibition exploring healing, resilience, and joy through mixed media paintings, collages, and poetry.
Rooted in her Jamaican heritage and a lifelong commitment to mental wellness, Christine’s work invites visitors to reflect on the question: “Where am I in my journey to inner peace?” She will share insights into her creative process, the five transformative phases that shape the exhibition, and the ways art can serve as a path to emotional renewal.
Guests are encouraged to bring a journal, engage with reflective prompts, and experience the artist’s poetry firsthand.
About the Artist
Christine D. Johnson, MHRIR, SHRM, is a South Carolina–based mixed media painter, poet, and author whose soulful work inspires inner peace and personal growth. Born in Jamaica and shaped by a culture of resilience and community, Christine layers abstract portraits and florals with acrylic paint, paper, and found materials to reflect values like authenticity, patience, and courage. Her creative process is deeply spiritual and rooted in the belief that art supports mental wellness—a passion shaped by witnessing struggles with mental health since childhood.
In 2024, Christine became a full-time artist and published Art Journey to Inner Peace, a coffee table book blending her art, poetry, and photography. Her work has been exhibited widely since 1994, and her poetry has been performed at notable venues like the Dock Street Theatre and Gaillard Center. She also leads transformative retreats that combine art, yoga, sound healing, and aromatherapy to help others reconnect with their inner calm. Learn more at christinedjohnson.com.
