Sharon Fujimoto-Johnson is a children’s book author-illustrator with two forthcoming titles: The Mochi Makers (2024) and Shell Song (2025).
Her current interest is in mixed media collages. These three rounds were created with watercolor, pencil, tempera paint stick, ink, embroidery, tissue paper, and cut paper.
They were inspired by the belief that all people, like the trees, belong on this earth.

Sharon’s two daughters also contributed:
Lauren, age 9, is interested in art painting, mixed media collage.
She created this artwork depicting many of the things she loves, including nature and trees, which she loves climbing. On the backside, Lauren wrote a poem about “being you.”


Isla, age 14, enjoys pencil and painting.
She created this artwork with pencil, marker, and watercolor. She followed the lines and shapes in the handmade paper with pencil and marker and paint then added water to bring out these patterns in the paper.
