Photographer and Artist

About the Artist: Candace J Johnson

Automotive Artist | Photographer | Storyteller of Motion

Candace J Johnson is an artist and photographer whose work celebrates the beauty, grit, and legacy of machines in motion. With a lifelong background in the automotive world, Candace doesn’t just create transportation art—she understands it from the inside out.

She has been certified by top automotive brands such as Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, Mack, and Volvo, and has worked with multiple wholesale dealers in Wisconsin. She later served as a Ford Performance Coach from Alaska to New Mexico, and as a Technical Placement Specialist for Ford Motor Company in Wisconsin, building a foundation that now informs every piece of art she creates.”


Her specialty lies in capturing the soul of hot rods, muscle cars, classic trucks, motorcycles, planes, and boats—anything that moves with purpose. Whether working from owner-submitted photos or her own event photography, she transforms real vehicles into powerful works of art filled with motion, memory, and emotion.

Her Legacy Collection showcases her most personal and powerful works—pieces born from the belief that machines carry more than horsepower: they carry history. Many first-edition prints are donated to charity. This collection is for collectors who feel the story behind the steel.

Because motion isn’t just mechanical—it’s meaningful.

Art That Moves Us

Art that connects, inspires, and gives back.
Every piece is created with purpose—
to honor motion,
to capture connection,
and to support something greater than ourselves.
Because behind every machine is a story…
and every story deserves to move someone.
