For the past 40 years, Patricia Johanson's multi-disciplinary designs have combined art, ecology, landscaping, and functional infrastructure--reflecting her education in art and architecture and her deep study of the natural world. She has been a repeated keynote speaker for the International Federation of Landscape Architects; her work has been seen in over 150 exhibitions and housed in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York; and her writings have been translated into 11 languages.

Recent studies of her work include the books Patricia Johanson and the Reinvention of Public Environmental Art (2013), A Field Guide to Patricia Johanson’s Works (2012), Patricia Johanson’s House and Garden Commission: Reconstruction of Modernity (2008), and the biography Art and Survival: Patricia Johanson’s Environmental Projects (2006).
