4 Lakes + 2 Bikes + 2 Cities + 2 Projections = August on the Road

August On The Road

Taking full advantage of being out on the road this past month. With many photographic adventures on my path. Including 2 projections presented in Ottawa (see earlier posts). Spending some time out in the wilderness at some of my favourite stops and the discovery of Amherst Island on Lake Ontario. Toured Amherst Island by Bicycle (If you take the Fairy with only your bike it's ONLY 1.50$ RETURN). The Island gives you a maritime, PEI kinda feel right in Ontario. 

With many images upon my return, stay tuned for updates to many of the galleries at jamiejanxjohnston.com 

4 Lakes: 
Lac Bernard, Melon Lake, Charleston Lake & Lake Ontario



2 Bikes:

On October 6th 2023 in Windsor Ontario during Free for All Walls… I went down with a heart attack all while I was painting a Mural. After 6 weeks of recovery with many ups and downs both physically and mentally. I pulled myself together, made a deal with myself that life on the other side of this episode can only get better. My goal: come back better and stronger. Allowing everything to take its time and leaving myself open to continue exploring my creativity. Yesterday for the first time since Windsor I painted a Mural. With the amazing help from the best team mate, friends and talented hand  @jshantzart  Jeremy I can’t thank you enough for giving me the confidence to jump back on the horse. Push my style even further and continually being a positive and understanding human. Your the best.

National Gallery of Canada

Three years later, Jamie’s leaving the education department of the National Gallery of Canada. Changes have come to the department, and I must move on. Today was my last day. I’m sad it happened this way. I had three great years here. Giving guided tours, in community workshops, studio workshops and kiosks for ALL age groups. This environment has pushed me to get back to many art forms I had forgotten; Silk Screening, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting and pretty much anything else you can think of in the visual art world. Worked with some amazing people, experienced some world class art first hand, but now it’s time. Much love to all of you, I learned so much in such a little time. images courtesy of Staff, Rebecca Miller & MIV Photography for the National Gallery of Canada
