| “Johnston’s sculpture presents a positive view of humanity akin to the classical masters. His figures display finely modeled surfaces with well-defined musculature and clear anatomical structure. Yet they incorporate a fresh, modern quality of design that speaks to the present.”– Rolly T. Strauss, founding editor of Sculptors International magazine |

| "Orpheus and the Underworld" 1998 Bronze 30"x 32"x 8", Ed 20 |
| Orpheus, god of music, fell in love with a mortal, Eurydice, who died and thus went into the underworld, ruled by Hades. Orpheus traveled everywhere searching for her and, when he found her, charmed Hades with his music, negotiating her release. Hades agreed on the one condition: that Orpheus not look back. It was a long arduous walk and Orpheus led the way. Once he was safely out, unable to restrain himself any longer, he turned around to make sure she had followed. Tragically, Eurydice was not quite out and, due to his curiosity, she was pulled back into the underworld, lost to him forever. |

| "Psyche and Cupid", 1984 22" high and 70" high, Bronze |
| The sculpture captures a dramatic moment in the Greek tale of Psyche and Cupid. The god Cupid fell in love with the most beautiful mortal on Earth, Psyche. Cupid's mother, Aphrodite, was against her son mingling with a mortal but rather than forbidding them being together, she forbad Psyche from looking upon Cupid in the light. Psyche, unable to restrain herself, devised a way to look upon the divine body of her beloved. When Aphrodite found out, Psyche was banished and suffered through great trials in search of her love. Because of her great devotion to Cupid, Aphrodite finally consented to their reunion, and Psyche, too, became immortal. |
