• Greenport artist Poppy Johnson has always been a rebel. Her artistic journey has taken her from a guerrilla arts movement in the late 1960s in New York to a studio in the woods of the Hudson Valley where she made magical rock creatures, through her move to Greenport to nurture a family and an inventive arts scene in the 1990s. This Friday, an “Introspective” on her work opens at Greenport’s Floyd Memorial Library, where she worked and fostered an arts community for 40 years. We got a chance to go on an introspective journey with her this week ahead of the opening. Read Our Interview.
