Mark Johnson
My art is a drawing out of connections seen with the mind's eye. Creating a piece of art, I share my thoughts and visions filtered through eyes marked by a condition known as Anisometropia – where one eye is nearsighted and the other farsighted. This physical trait allows me to see images that are out of conscious awareness for most people. These images drive my curiosity to understand what I see, where things begin and end. I was born in 1957 in Toronto and raised in Brantford, Ontario. I spent 2 years at York University before starting a family and working for 25 years in the print industry. Recently I began to exhibit in local juried art shows. Starting afresh with a new partner I am now fitting into the art community of Toronto in a dedicated pursuit of my vision using my unique eye and sense of wonder and whimsy.
