Lea Michelle Johnson is a multifaceted creative: an author, artist, coach, speaker, ordained minister, devoted wife, and mother of two. A passionate animal lover, she gave her life to Christ on September 4, 2015—a pivotal moment that led her to write a daily devotional documenting her early walk with faith. That work became her first published book, Finding Christ Through Social Media, available on Amazon. Since then, she has been called to help others grow spiritually and emotionally through art, life coaching, and faith-based guidance. Her mission includes helping individuals live balanced lives and inspiring couples to center their marriages around God.

Her literary contributions also include the children’s book Fearless Noah and her newest title, Squall, available through her website and soon on Amazon. Alongside her writing and coaching, Lea Michelle has emerged as a dedicated visual artist. In September 2025, she began acrylic painting and, in just five months, created nearly 65 canvases—channeling her lifelong creative spirit into a new and expressive medium. Her artist journey was recently featured on Fox 8, marking a public milestone in her creative evolution. Her current collection can be explored at www.ArtistLeaMichelle.com.

Lea Michelle’s earliest artistic inspiration came from a childhood vision—when her kindergarten drawing showed a girl at an easel holding a paintbrush. Though life led her in many directions, that artistic dream never left her soul. Today, she continues to grow as a fine artist with recognitions such as Finalist honors in Art Collide’s Fall 2024 Winter Open Theme Competition and The 70th International Artavita Art Contest in Winter 2025. Through her faith, creativity, and calling, she continues to uplift others with purpose, beauty, and boldness.
