Martha Johnson - Simply Serendipity

Martha Johnson has a Fine Art BA from the University of Guelph. She attended Art's Sake in Toronto where she met and was mentored by Tom Hodgson (Painter's Eleven).
She has worked as a visual artist for over thirty years producing drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations. Martha has designed sets and costumes for Canadian Stage Company, Necessary Angel and Desrossier Dance Theatre.
As a founding member of Figure x Four, the artist group began a practise of exhibiting work in conjunction with dance performance during Art's Week in Toronto.
An important continuing body of work, Survey the Valley, focuses on the Don River ecosystem. Connecting to Naturalist Earnest Thompson Seaton, Martha began creating ephemeral sculpture forms.
She teaches painting in Toronto at the Avenue Road Arts School and the Toronto Botanical Gardens, as well as in Grand Manan, New Brunswick. Martha was instrumental in developing White Wall North Art Gallery in Toronto.
