Leah Johnston
Drag to set position!
I linger
in the cocoon of my breast
longing to break through

ABOUT
I am a Canadian artist living and working in Los Angeles. I create story-driven works with an eye toward arresting visuals and compelling narrative. The most important thing to me is the emotional journey of the character I am trying to convey.
A few quick facts:
- I take the images myself- no stock used, apart from the occasional texture.
- I write the poems as well
- If you're wondering how I created something on my stream, please check out my blog to see before and afters.
- Additional fun can be found on my website, facebook, twitter, vimeo and youtube.
I have released my first photo-poetry book featuring my best work from my poems set. You can purchase it by clicking the picture below.
