Noah Johnson
"In the Hills"

​

Showing February 14 - March 6, 2026​

​

Noah Johnson is a self-taught artist living in Berkeley, dedicated to capturing the magic of Bay Area landscapes in pen and watercolor, with a healthy dose of imagination.

​

Born and raised along the shores of Puget Sound, Noah studied mechanical engineering and worked in the field for several years, before departing the profession. He moved to the Bay in 2023, with a renewed focus on art as essential expression, and as a potential livelihood. After several years supporting his dreams with part-time work, Noah recently transitioned to art as a full-time vocation.

​

With his imaginative landscapes, Noah hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world (from which we are inseparable) and the land’s good health (upon which we ultimately depend).

When Noah first moved to Berkeley, the hills provided a sanctuary of perspective and comfort, amongst a sea of change. He returns to them often, finding joy in the many green spaces along this ridgeline, from Redwood Regional to San Pablo Ridge.

​

“In the Hills” celebrates the spring beauty in the East Bay hill-scape, via a whimsical diorama created with pen and watercolor. The hills are an immersive space, where you can find your way again, experiencing awe amongst the mind-opening vistas.
