Trace Johansson, founder and sole contributor of Taj Studios, creates customized fine art for private homes and commercial spaces that have been featured in galleries such as the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles and the Natural History Museum of San Diego, and has donated her works to various non-profit organizations in the name of animal welfare.
Trace accepted art commissions while earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA, graduating in 2000.
Art works for the design community as well as her issue-and-statement fine art paintings will be on display at her TAJ ART space. TAJ ART is an innovative art space that displays her vision of a for-profit space where a portion of all proceeds will be donated to animal welfare organizations around the world. Her issue-and-statement art depicts the animal-human bond; she also represents other artists.
Visitors will experience both a high-end art space, as well as a focus on real-world pressing issues, hoping to generate more conscious daily decisions that can help support the planet and its inhabitants.
