Marion Johnson

My name is Marion Johnson I have really enjoyed sketching and painting Clive the Magic Camel and his new friends.

I have always loved drawing and painting animals. I was born in Stroud but grew up in Wales surrounded by lovely countryside and lots of animals as my parents had a smallholding.

I think all animals have individual characters and personalities so I like to capture their expressions on paper, particularly dogs and horses.

I now live in Gloucestershire with my lovely partner Peter,2 cats and occasionally my daughters collie.

 I work part time as a nurse and help Peter to renovate our new home when I’m not painting pet portraits.
