Mary-Anne Johnston

“OMG!” groaned the Dog. “Why is it always such a long story?”, 2022, acrylic on board
About the Artist:
Mary-Anne Johnston grew up on the border of urban Peterborough and farm country. She holds undergraduate degrees in English Literature and Classical Literature from Trent University and is an Jungian analyst graduate from C.G. Jung Institute, in Zürich.
Currently Mary-Anne is fully engaged in art making. Recently, she developed skills in drawing and painting at the Haliburton School of the Arts. Workshops with Brian Atyeo and Rowena Dykins influenced the direction of Mary-Anne’s art, especially to find her groove in the place between abstraction and literal representation.
For Mary-Anne, alongside the deep despair concerning this Climate Crisis, always runs a love and playfulness and gratitude for being alive with such beauty and intelligence in the non-human world.
