"Johnston’s series of Shakespearean characters, his etchings of the Book of Job, and other art expressions reveal a personal faith and show an intensity for life that inspires concern for vital issues in our society. Many sculptural themes are about family. But, if family brings happiness and well-being, faith fosters a concern beyond self, spouse and siblings, as revealed in Christianity and Judaism, and as revealed in metaphor, psychology and philosophy."
