After years of concerted practice, Lucy Marshall has responded to the howl of the universal dog and created The Dogophile. Made in West Africa, born in England in 1962 and transported to Australia at the age of 2, Lucy was influenced by her father from a very early age who adored cartoons. During her teenage years, the drawings of Gerard Hoffnung, Jean-Jacques Sempe, and Charles Addams were instrumental in forcing her to pick up a pen and draw humorous ideas from her keen observations of life around her. Later, Saul Steinberg and Maira Kalman continued to feed her pen’s meanderings.
Lucy has a degree in the Japanese language from the University of Adelaide in South Australia.
She is well schooled through her extensive experience running a cross-cultural executive search firm in Asia for 25 years. With a fascination for human relations and behavioural observation, she is multi-lingual – able to speak English, Japanese and E-Spaniel, which allows her to translate her vision of the world through the guidance of her British Cocker Spaniel, Baci.
Lucy lives in Sydney, Australia.
