About ME
Welcome!
I’m Jennifer Johnston, an Australian artist and author living on the beautiful coast of Hervey Bay. I create mixed media and acrylic artworks, and I write books with a Christian foundation. My work sits at the meeting point of image and story: visual pieces that invite you to pause and smile, and words that point to hope and meaning. On this site you’ll find:
• Artwork — mixed media and acrylic pieces, plus selected collections
• Books — Christian-based titles, descriptions, excerpts, and reading updates
• PNG Graphics — download, print and use in scrapbooks, cards, junk journals and mixed media art
• News — latest updates, releases, and behind-the-scenes notes
• Contact — enquiries about artwork, books, workshops & more
I’m drawn to details, textures, and the quiet moments that often get missed. In my artwork, I love layering colour, marks, and found elements to create pieces with depth and warmth. In my writing, faith is at the centre. I’m inspired by Scripture and the everyday ways God meets us, strengthens us, and calls us forward with hope.
If you’re new here, a good place to start is the Gallery to explore recent work, or the Books page for current titles and excerpts. For more information, please use the Contact page — I’d love to hear from you.
JENNIFER's STORY
My painting journey began in September 2024, during a season marked by an unexpected diagnosis and a deep need for comfort and clarity. In that quiet, vulnerable space, I sensed the prompting of Almighty God to pick up a brush, something I had never imagined for myself. With a handful of paints, a few simple tools, and absolutely no idea what I was doing, I stepped in anyway… and fell completely in love. Only months later, I entered four pieces in the 2025 Fraser Coast Agricultural Show and was astonished to receive three awards. Two firsts and one second. Art has become a lifeline for me, a place of joy, expression, and healing, and I’m grateful every day for the unexpected way this creative path opened before me.
