Margarette Johannes was born in the Midwest and began private art classes as a young child that focused human portraiture and color combination. While studying in Norway as a teenager, Miss Johannes was inspired by Europe's castles, chalets, and churches including simulated marbles and woods of Versailles. She traveled extensively to study various techniques, some of which are 300 years old, and well-known artists.

Johannes returned to the United States to complete her Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree at the University of California, San Diego. Miss Johannes perfected her talents under renowned Italian artist, Italo Scanga. She studied all levels of painting, drawing, life drawing, and textures in addition to sculpture, metal fabrication, performance art, western and non-western art history, film, graphic art, and museum/gallery exhibition. Miss Johannes graduated summa cum laude and began to intern as a decorative artist.

Now, after 17 years of research, study, and experience, Miss Johannes is available to businesses and individuals who wish to add beauty and refinement to their personal lives and work places.
