Kasondra was born January 5, 1950 in Coldwater, Michigan, moved to California with her family in 1965, and graduated from La Serna HS in Whittier in 1968. She later attended Long Beach City College where she met her husband, Steven C. JOHNSTON of Fairfield, Iowa. Kas and Steve moved from California to Falls Church, Virginia in 1981 where their children, Stefanie and Todd were born.

She earned a B.S. in Information Systems from the University of Maryland in 1980 and later, a Masters in Transportation Policy from George Mason University in 2004.

She studied with a number of professional artists and her work has been displayed and sold at art shows in Falls Church, The Art League in Old Towne Alexandria, and Art at the Mill in Millwood, VA. Kas and Steve were planning to move to the Keosauqua area in early 2015 where she intended to establish her art studio and business.
