“In moments, I’m physically present but not emotionally; I’m in my own world of loss.”
— Shanice Johnson
About the artist
Shanice Johnson
American
Shanice (b. 1999) is a black artist from the Midwest. Ever since her earliest memories, she has always had difficulty communicating her thoughts and troubles. The easiest way for her to do so was by drawing. Drawing not only gave her a way to describe her emotions, but it was also a temporary escape from the world. Her artwork is a way to escape the paranoia and panic she endures, but it's also another way to help her heal.
