Beginning with the exhibition of her master’s thesis project Ceydie in 2018 from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), Cynthia (Cince) Johnston’s work often explores the dynamics of intimate family narratives with psychological meditations on the everyday, place, memory and healing. As a mother of five, her photography practice includes portraying familial relationships within various stages of life juxtaposed with bouts of street documentary and training with Photographers Without Borders in India for storytelling for change in 2020.
For her story Freddy and Ceydie, an awareness project about organ donation, Johnston recently received a Canada Council for the Arts grant. She also was the runner up as the Julia Margaret Cameron non-professional photographer of the year in 2021 winning both series for children and portrait.
