Biography
Born: Warwickshire, UK
Alison Johnson was born in Warwickshire, where her lifelong fascination with nature’s beauty began. Growing up surrounded by the English countryside, she developed a deep appreciation for the ever-changing landscapes, from rugged coastlines to smouldering moors, which now inspire her art.
Initially trained as a nurse, Johnson is a self-taught artist whose transition to painting was driven by a desire to express emotions and atmospheres that words could not capture. Her early coastal works, created from her Coventry studio, gained rapid acclaim for their vivid portrayal of light and movement, launching her professional career in the early 2000s.
Influenced by impressionist masters like Turner, Johnson employs thick oil paint and palette knife techniques to craft her distinctive seascapes. Her travels to wild coastlines and desolate landscapes fuel her creativity, infusing her work with a sense of mystery and human connection. She has completed prestigious commissions, including pieces for high-profile clients in London and the Middle East.
Now an internationally recognised artist, Johnson continues to create from her Fargo, Coventry studio. Her paintings, exhibited across the UK, Europe, and the United States, explore themes of nature, mortality, and emotion, captivating audiences with their ethereal beauty.
