Johnston's sculptures can be found in museums in the U.S., Italy, Holland, and China.Art critic Steve Mirabella once wrote: "The sculpture of Barry Woods Johnston is destined to speak to future generations as powerfully as it does to his own. Having learned from the past, he emotionally absorbs the present and thinks towards the future. He is a modern Renaissance man with talents ranging from architecture, classical piano, drawing, painting, composing, and philosophy to athletics."
