Christine Johnson
Born 1959, Melbourne. Lives and works in Melbourne.
Christine Johnson is an Australian artist whose practice encompasses painting, drawing, and printmaking, often extending into public art, sound, and installation works. Her work explores the intersection of botany, art, and science, delving into historical narratives and native flora to examine our relationship with the environment, place, and belonging.
Since her first solo exhibition in Melbourne in 1989, Johnson has presented over twenty-five solo exhibitions across Australia. In 2012, she was awarded a Creative Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria, where she researched early Australian botanical art, leading to the touring exhibition Voyages Botanical.
Her recent works include contributions to the 2023 Melbourne Now Print Portfolio at the National Gallery of Victoria, reflecting her ongoing engagement with botanical themes and environmental narratives.
