Becki Nagel Johnson is a self-taught artist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose vibrant mixed-media acrylic paintings reflect the haunting beauty and soulful rhythm of her hometown. Her work is characterized by bold, moody palettes and expressive textures that evoke the layered history, music, and mystique of the Crescent City. Whether capturing the soaring silhouette of St. Louis Cathedral, the shadowy mood of a jazzman in mid-note, or the wild color of Mardi Gras beads tangled in ancient oak trees, Becki’s art tells the story of New Orleans — raw, radiant, and unapologetically alive.
