Johnston Burkhardt is a mixed media artist whose work draws from his upbringing in New Orleans, his travels, and his love for design. He grew up with a pencil in his hand and a fascination with the modern art he saw in museums and books. Often experimenting with texture, color, and unconventional materials, his paintings typically feature a wide array of materials, including acrylic and oil paints, charcoal and pastel, pencil, spray paint, and hand embroidery.

Johnston’s work demonstrates an intentional balance between spontaneity and structure yet retains visual motifs that create definite distinctions in his work. By joining separated materials with sequential marks, his work dances a dynamic rhythm- inviting broad and unique interpretations and engaging the imagination.  Johnston’s diverse body of work has been sold across the country and commissioned by collectors and interior designers alike.
