Local Artist Pursues His Craft On Both Sides Of Atlantic

Oil painter, Tim Johnson, is a Fort Wayne native, with a passion for the craft he pursues to the fullest--here, as well as at his 2nd live-in studio space, in Seborga, Italy.

Before heading there for the winter season, Johnson has one last art show here in town, at his B Building Gallery on West Berry Street, which opens tonight.

WBOI's Julia Meek met with the artist earlier this week, to discuss this dual working arrangement, and how such a hectic pace fuels his lust for life--and lifestyle.
