Johanna Elbe (b.1984) is originally from Gislaved and moved to Växjö to study visual arts and mathematics at university (2003-2008). She is a licensed art teacher at upper secondary level and a board member of Växjö Konstrunda. In February 2023 she was named artist of the month by the Swedish Artists' Association and has exhibited at places such as Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and Artexpo New York.

In her earlier career, Johanna focused on copper Prints, focusing on etching in both hard and soft ground. The Prints were then interspersed with paintings in pop art, realism and figurative art.

Due to personal circumstances, she chose to take a break from art in 2012. Johanna became active again in 2019 when painting became a quest for recovery. An intuitive creation that led to what is today the backbone of her current design language and the foundation of the abstract art series Japandi Art.
