Famous Horse Johnnie and Kathy Sidjakov
Hi World!
Johnnie the Famous Painting Horse
Selected as the New Emerging Artist for Sonoma County
Johnnie is most certainly a horse of a different color. He is a Gypsy Vanner, a breed originally developed in the British Isles by the Romany people, to pull their colorful caravans from farm to farm. Johnnie has decided, however, that he does not want to be an ordinary horse, preferring to be an artist instead. With the help of his skilled trainer, he has learned to hold a paintbrush in his mouth, choose colors and create soulful works that reflect his passion. Camilla Gray-Nelson’s (owner) belief in the Artist has been a pinnacle point of their success. A Successful gallery showing in June 2021, where many original and copies were sold, establishes Johnnie a proven collectable artist.
As a collaborative union of energy and synergy, Soul painters Johnnie Gray-Nelson a Gypsy Vanner Horse has paired with Contemporary Fine Artist and Hollywood Animal Trainer Kathy Blanquie-Sidjakov. Merging for an explosive, energized, and emotionally charged brush strokes of color expressed with paint into works of art.

Kathy is a Hollywood Animal Trainer for over 25 years doing over 30 feature films here in the bay area. Kathy was introduced to Johnnie in 2017. His thirst for learning and our beautiful relationship expressed teaching colors, agility, and tricks. As he craved more and more, we graduated into Painting. The rest is history, they both have a passion for artistic expression and amuse each other in the process.
As inspired by Johnnie’s adept superior senses with his abilities to see, smell and express from unbridled enthusiasm he is as much of an Animal Teacher as his partner Kathy. Often choosing the colors himself with the largest eyes in the animal kingdom and his color preferences. Kathy uses her years of gallery painting and studies to help shape the composition of the artworks. Soul painting is a flow from the brain, eyes, and body to select colors based on environment, emotions, and experiences. Organic in materials influenced by God’s spirit, nature, and the seasons.
