[re]-surfacing, 2009
As an independent graphic designer with nearly 20 years of experience in corporate, editorial and cultural design, I deliver positive and memorable communication solutions grounded by a commitment to ideas and design.
I have now expanded my passion for visual communication to art and illustration, thereby granting me more freedom to explore and create work that goes beyond established boundaries.
Tanya Johnston’s portfolio is a rather cerebral, mystical affair, characterised by geometric shapes, impossible creatures and otherworldly landscapes.
Expertly blending handrawn elements with photographic collages, Johnston’s twenty years of experience in corporate, editorial and cultural design shine through – we think her work has a sophistication that seems at once futuristic and archaic; simplistic, yet complex.
