Johnstone was born in 1915 in Coltishall, Norfolk, and was the illegitimate daughter of musician Nora Brownsword and famous artist, Augustus John. From 1933 – 1938, she studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London where she established friendships with artists Mary Fedden and Virginia Parsons. She also trained under cubist artists, Andre Lhote in Paris and Cecil Collins. Gwyneth Johnstone spent her time between her home in Norfolk and later in the South of France and Spain.
