TESTIMONIALS. . .
. . . Paul R. Jones, Sr.
"I like collecting art from artist who are good at Ashanti's style of drawing, such as Charles White and Kofi Bailey. He is talented and does a good job expressing himself on both paper and canvas. Ashanti's art has been included in works I've donated to the University of Delaware, the University of Alabama, the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, AL and the Georgia Museum of Art on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, among others. He has been commissioned to do pieces for my collection. He warrants the consideration of others, being the very talented artist that he is.".

"I have been blessed to acquire several distinct renderings from Ashanti. The value that they bring to my home gallery is immeasurable. The warmth that emanates from the portrait of my mother keeps her presence alive. The portrait of the “Brown Bomber,” Joe Louis, is an ever living reminder of how stamina, perseverance and dedication to anything transcends artificial barriers. The other pieces are equally vocal and evoke deep emotions. They all make long term vivid impressions".

"Ashanti is passionate about the use of his gift of special energy in creating photorealist portraits, such as of my grandfather and other collectible unique masterpieces".
. . . Charlotte Cameron, Community Arts, and After-School Director
"Ashanti Johnson has demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism and creativity on the projects we have worked on. He is able to listen, watch and feel what I am describing for the project and then interpret that into a work of art beyond my visions. I not only appreciate these talents, I also applaud them and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. It is rare to find someone that can work well in fine arts, community arts, and teaching arts … I find that someone in Ashanti Johnson".
