North Central Pennsylvania folk artist Job Johnson presents modern audiences with a distinctive commentary on frontier life in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
Johnson remained a hermit living in a small, two-room shack on several acres of family land until his death at the age of 77.
He surrounded himself with his work his home and shed were covered from floor to ceiling with his art.
The collection became the property of his brother's widowed wife, Lottie Mae Johnson and have been passed down through the Johnson family of Lycoming and Clinton counties.
Issues that Johnson tackled in his works -- conservation, environmentalism, technology still resonate with our current culture.
