Hello, my name is Tina Johnson (she/her).
I live and work on Snuneymuxw traditional territory. I’m grateful to remain as a guest in this incredible place.
I am a former high school teacher. I taught art, careers and sexual health.
I went to Emily Carr, Langara, and UBC, ending in a BA in studio art. I also have my BEd and MEd and am a certified sexual health educator.
I have worked in many different mediums over the years but am currently painting with acrylic gouache on wood surfaces and I create with clay.
In my spare time I like to quilt, sew, embroider and knit.
I draw inspiration from nature, animals and my experiences teaching (hence the swearing birds/how I feel on the inside). I like colour and pattern and the secret lives of animals.
If you have questions for me, or would like to know more about my practice, you are welcome to contact me.
Thank you for your interest in my work.
