About the artist
Bobby Johnson
Bobby Johnson
Bobby Johnson lives in Church Rock, New Mexico, which is known for the wealth of fine Native jewelry crafted by its abundance of Navajo silversmiths.
Within the town's silver working community, Bobby is considered one of the "elders". He is admired for his techniques and production skills and sought out for advice by many of his fellow jewelry artisans.
His skills were honed early as he grew up and learned in a silversmithing family. Bobby, along with his sisters and brothers, has all become experts at this art. Now in his sixties, Bobby's love for working with silver and turquoise has grown with time and he is more productive than ever. We hope that his health keeps up with his enthusiasm so we can continue to enjoy his creations for many years to come.
