Lydia Johnston creates a powerful sense of place without providing all the details, drawing the viewer back continually to find something new. Her paintings have a deep mystery, they allude to the familiar while remaining ambiguous. By hinting at things Lydia intrigues the viewer, allowing a profound connection with the images. Her play with color and composition is nothing short of magical.
