Joni Johns
Joni Johns has been painting fabrics for over twenty five years. Current examples of her work
can be seen on the stages of Broadway, the touring and Japan companies of The Lion King:
on the National Tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie and in Disney's touring companies of Monsters
Inc On Ice and Finding Nemo On Ice. Other recent projects include Peter Martin's Harmonielehre
and Harlequinade at New York City Ballet; Artemis at American Ballet Theater and Mark Morris'
Sylvia, San Francisco Ballet.
In 1989, Johns combined her talents with three other partners, including a fabric dyer and silk screener to form Fabric Effects, Inc. Located in New York City, this full service fabric modification shop served the theater, fashion and home furnishing industries. Here Johns worked with designers developing their lines for companies like Polo Ralph Lauren, Nike, Reebok, and many others. Other projects included painting costumes for the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, and Guys and Dolls, and concert tours for The Rolling Stones and The Artist Formally Known as Prince.
Working with Maurice Sendak, Johns has developed a line of limited edition hand-painted
and signed silk scarves based on Mr. Sendak's theatre designs. Shown here is the first
design; a 36" square scarf based on Maurice Sendak's design for The Magic Flute.
