Hello, I'm Jo Johnston - visual artist and illustrator, who loves playing with ideas and turning them into dynamic visual work. I'm originally from the U.K., where I studied art and also qualified as an Occupational Therapist. In 2007 I moved with my family to Berlin. Since living in Berlin I have continued creating art, have taught art to children and adults, and worked supporting children and teenagers with disabilities and special educational needs. |

Drawing is my way of fixing things down when life is moving too fast. It helps me to see and experience the world we live in more clearly. I love to work on developing visual interpretations of written word, memories, ideas, have worked on producing artwork for theatre, and recently been exploring comic/graphic novel formats.

Alongside this, I have been running the "The Little Window Galerie” for 10 years together with a creative friend. It is allegedly the smallest art gallery in Berlin, and each month one piece of work from a different artist is exhibited in our “Schaufenster”. The little window is on the busy Berliner Strasse in Pankow for everyone to enjoy. The idea is to bring a wide range of art to people from all walks of life at no expense to them. |
