Kenneth Johnson, a native Texan, transitioned from a career in aerospace engineering to a California sculptor. Early in his development, he was home schooled in the related arts by his mother, an accomplished artist and high school art teacher, and by his father, a skilled craftsman of wood, iron and stone. Johnson's artistic endeavors, however, were temporarily diverted by careers as an Air Force officer, and space systems engineer and manager. Following his passion, he returned to art as a student of sculpture, and a community college art instructional aid. Johnson cast his own original bronze pieces, completing each step of the "lost wax" bronze casting process. He integrates bronze, stone and wood. His art explores a broad range of traditional, representative, and abstract forms with subjects ranging from structural shapes to the human body and elements of nature and animals.
