Sarojini Jha Johnson has taught
printmaking and foundations at
Ball State University since 1985.
She grew up in Ohio and earned
undergraduate degrees in French
and drawing from the University of
Cincinnati. She received an MFA in
printmaking from Miami University
where she began working with
animal and plant forms in her
prints.

Her work places natural forms in a
fictional context. An essential
theme expressed is the human
desire to make time stand still in
order to experience a particular
moment in time. Her main medium
is color intaglio printmaking, a
medium that allows for great
creativity and invention in terms of
surface and color.

Recently, she has been exploring
memories and impressions of
India, her country of origin. Animal
images such as fish and birds still
emerge in this work.
