Biography
printmaker and installation artist, was born in Hamilton and grew up in the Western District, Victoria. She first became aware of art through her grandmother, a self-taught artist 'who was a painter of sorts … part of that Edwardian, genteel arts tradition’ (she painted reproductions in oils). Johnstone’s work was included in Aspects of Australian Printmaking 1984-1994 , National Gallery of Victoria catalogue, Melbourne, 1995. She is also interested in cypress trees, which she identifies with the Western District landscape, and in the Tower of Babel (symbolic of the Bible of her childhood). This entry is a stub.
