Color---Texture---Pictorial

Jane Johnston, trained as a traditional artisan in college demonstrates a true love for both color and texture in design. Through the years her work has taken on a painterly quality, as both color and texture have been combined to extend traditional techniques in polymer clay jewelry and quilt construction. Her designs often reflect her personal style of exaggerating and pushing the limits to create expressive, pictorial images… whether wearable or purely decorative in nature.

As an artist, Jane Johnston has exhibited her work in several counties in Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey and Kentucky. She has won several awards for her art quilts and clothing through out the United States. She is currently in her 23rd year of teaching high school art education in Harford County, Maryland. Jane continually seeks new opportunities to share her artwork with the public through local or national competitions and exhibits. She also welcomes any and all commissions.
