Enid Johnstone

My art is driven by contrast: strength and vulnerability, angst and ease, death and rebirth. I capture the push and pull of opposites, telling stories of things coming together and falling apart. Each piece reflects the beauty in these contrasts—solitude meets chaos, order meets unpredictability, and magic appears in the moments between.

As a mixed media artist, I use drawing, painting, photography, and collage to tell these stories. My materials are as diverse as my themes—oils, acrylics, watercolors, along with vintage paper, posters, candy wrappers, and more. I give new life to forgotten things, connecting the past with the present.

For me, creating art is both playful and grounding. It lets me explore the absurd and unexpected while also reminding me of life's fleeting nature, offering a sense of permanence in the middle of it all.
