Terrol Dew Johnson is Tohono O'dham from Sells, Arizona. Johnson began weaving at the age of ten. “It was the only thing I was good at,” the artist has been quoted as saying, “I’ve always been touchy-feely and good with my hands –I could do this with my hands, and it was fun!” His parents actively encouraged his interest in basketry, particularly his mother, Betty Ann Pancho.

He uses plant materials traditional to his tribe in his work but in experimental in his weaves and techniques. One of his pieces is, Quilt Basket: a virtuoso display of different weaving techniques, suspended from a single branch. The materials he uses include bear grass, yucca, devil’s claw, and gourds. He is most known for his gourd baskets, in which pieces of the gourd are cut away and the negative space is filled with finely woven bear grass. Johnson has won major top awards at Santa Fe Indian Market, O’odham Tash (the Tohono O'odham annual festival held in February), the Heard Museum Indian Market, and the Southwest Museum’s Indian Art Fair
