Virtual Studio Tours are 30 min interactive programs that explore local contemporary artist studios. Artists take viewers behind the scenes of their studio practice with insights into their processes, inspirations, and artwork. Moderated by BMoCA’s Community Engagement & Media Manager, this Instagram Live series is an initiative to support local artists and give viewers the opportunity to take a closer look at art practices and ask questions to contemporary artists.

Rochelle Johnson was born and raised in Denver, where she discovered her passion for drawing at an early age. As a child she was inspired by the work of Lois Mailou Jones and Jacob Lawrence. In 1989 Johnson enrolled at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, where she learned to create stories using oils and watercolors and earned a degree in Illustration. Johnson moved to Seattle in 1992. When she returned to Denver, she resumed her pursuit of storytelling through painting. Today Johnson continues to develop her unique style of storytelling and has become a curator. In 2017 she curated Inclusion: Diverse Voices of the Modern West at the McNichols Civic Center Building in Denver, and in 2018 she curated The Search Within: Daughter of the Diaspora at the Western Colorado Center for the Arts in Grand Junction, CO.
