Rachel Johnson
Ikebana Artist | Educator
Botanical Designer

With a background in shiatsu, teaching, and visual design, Japanese flower arranging - Ikebana - struck many chords with me. What began as a gardener’s creative outlet, became an artistic discipline, a livelihood, and most of all a lifelong path of learning.

I began my Sogetsu studies over twenty years ago and have been teaching since 2010. I maintain active membership in the Sogetsu Teachers' Association and hold the rank of Komon. In the San Francisco Bay Area, I regularly exhibit at the deYoung and Asian Art Museums, and organize workshops for Soho Study Group members.

My work spans a diverse range of projects, and I’m always open to try new things! Here are some of my recent activities. Please contact me to chat about an idea.
