Rowan Johnson

Buongiorno!  I am happy to announce that I just graduated from Hendrix College with a BA in Theatre Arts and Dance.  I stumbled across modeling quite a while back through a good friend, and I absolutely fell in love with the craft. 

Most of my time is occupied either by my academic studies or by martial arts, which has been the one true love that has stuck with me over the years.  I have been practicing a variety of styles since the age of five, and teaching since the age of thirteen.  I have found that through every kind of art that I study, I can achieve a healthier body, and a healthier mind. 

One of my goals in modeling has always been to depict the many faces of performance and martial arts.  Strength and beauty take on so many forms, and intertwine on occasion to create fantastic images.  I am also open to any ideas that you might have, as a photographer or as a fellow model.  Closed-mindedness is a dire threat to art.  Contact me and let me know your ideas!
