Artist Statement - Michael
Happy Mothers Day !
Artist Michael J. Johnson (whose story appears in What Kids Need….) sent a greeting and an invitation to visit Michael’s website.
Years ago, I bought two small paintings by Michael and, in the process, made a nice connection with his mother, Robin. As you might imagine, sometimes when I look at them I can ‘hear’ Michael saying “it’s not big deal”!
If there’s something you love send an e-mail and Robin (Michael’s Mom and business agent) will give you a special price for Mother’s Day!

OK… that may not have been fair. But a provocative headline might get you to look…. and maybe you’ll share what you find… and….
In this case MOB stands for ‘Moms Opposed to Bullying’ from the blog created by Beth Kohlhoff.
I connected with Beth in response to a wonderful post about workplace bullying. In it she asked ‘why are we waiting until people are grown before we deal with this?’
Delighted that she was focused on ‘raising good grown-ups’ I read on. She writes “I believe we need to address the issue BEFORE our children become loners, shooters, bullies, druggies, preppies, jocks, and all of the other groups that aim at stigmatizing and categorizing our children.”
I like her blog — and I like her plan. If you’re looking for an extensive collection of high-quality links on this topic, Moms Opposed to Bullying is a great place to start.
