Courtney Johnson creates her luminous citiscapes using a modified version of cliché-verre, the technique developed in the mid-nineteenth century by painters looking to transition into the new field of photography. Each piece is constructed in 9 parts; each part begins as a painting on glass which is then scanned as a negative and finally printed as a photographic image;

the technique combines of both photography and painting. Johnson received her BFA with Honors under Deborah Willis from the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University and her MFA from the University of Miami. An emerging artist, under the age of thirty, she has exhibited in the United States and has been lauded in both English and Spanish American press. She has gues lectured on alternative photographic processes and was recently added into the collections of the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale and the Lowe Art Museum, Miami. Her work is currently on view at the Jenkins Johnson Gallery (NY) and will also be on view at The Armory Show (NY).
