I'm excited to announce I will be participating in the Startup Art Fair taking place at the Hotel Del Sol April 18-20.
In a time when authoritarianism threatens marginalized communities, we need art and artists more than ever. My art offers joy, resilience, optimism, and personal pride as resistance.




My robots represent aspirations to be Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. My rainbow flowers are inspired by LGBTQ+ flags, and my rockets are inspired by my previous career in Silicon Valley designing equipment for space.
You're invited to come see what I've been working on!
As always, I'm creating right up to the end, so follow my instagram @johnny_botts if you'd like updates. I'll send out another email before the event too.
