Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson grew up near Indianapolis, Indiana. Summers
were spent in Michigan roaming the ravines, woods, wild berry patches
and beaches around an 1908 family cottage on the Lake Michigan shore.
Jack continued bringing his own family of four children to the Lake,
passing along the memories to the next generation. The influence of those
early years is apparent in all his work. More »
