Diana Johnson is an environmental advocate and creative instructor with a Bachelor of Science in Geography and a minor in Marine Studies. She blends her environmental expertise with her love for the arts by teaching courses that inspire local stewardship of the natural world, while also guiding students in artistic expression, helping them to showcase their talents in exhibition.

In her approach, she seemingly integrates the dualities of art & science, delving into environmental and sustainability topics such as climate change resilience, conservation, and geological processes. Her goal is to not only convey the technical and analytic aspects of science, but to blend these with various artistic techniques and arts & crafts, creating a holistic and engaging approach to environmental education. Through her work, she creates safe space for individuals to grow and ponder location and place specific data, their own relationships and observations of nature, and their own artistic creations. Her efforts aim to inspire hope for community resilience, encourage creative solutions for environmentally impacted communities, and build artistic confidence by nurturing meaningful connections between community and their natural world.
