Pete Johnson grew up in Forest Lake, Arizona in the middle of the Navajo Reservation. He was one of ten children and his mother supported them entirely by weaving Navajo Rugs.
When he was young, Pete met the acclaimed Navajo silversmith Thomas Curtis, who adopted him as a son and taught Pete, and his daughter Jennifer, how to silversmith. Pete’s other mentor was another great Navajo silversmith, Al Joe.
Pete puts so much care into all his pieces and has such a variety of styles, including repoussé. At times his work looks vintage and traditional, and other times his jewelry is very modern.
