Summary
Dustin Johnston was born and raised in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada where he graduated from Thompson Rivers University with a visual arts diploma and eventually moved into Emily Carr Institute where he completed his BFA and graduated with a major in Ceramics and Painting in 2007. From there Dustin's journey took him through many jobs and summers working as a tree planter. Eventually Dustin's started his own construction company with a focus on tile installation and up until last year had been operating his own company for nearly 15 years. While working full time running the construction business Dustin still managed to paint and draw and make art whenever he had time. Most recently Dustin has swung back toward his passion for making art and opened an art studio and boutique shop in Peterborough Ontario with his wife where Dustin makes functional wares and ceramic art full time. Dustin is excited to continue on this journey of artistic exploration and see where it takes him.
