I love nothing more than getting lost in a beautiful view through a window
Gemma's interest in art began as a child when she would spend time with her father in his studio surrounded by his paintings, drawings, ceramics and large collection of art books.
Although her most recent work is mainly of a ‘still life’ nature she is also influenced by, and drawn to, the Cornish light and landscape, soft colours, shapes and textures, rooftops, wildlife and flowers as well as the more industrial working harbours and old tin mines.
BIO
Inspired by the ever changing Cornish beauty
Gemma was born in Dorset in 1972. She left home to study art and design, firstly at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design, and then at Bath College where she achieved a BA Hons in Illustration.
Moving to Cornwall was always a dream and when she found herself and her one year old living in Mousehole it was dream come true! Surrounded by the sea, harbours and galleries of West Penwith it was the perfect place to continue with her chosen career. 10 years on she is truly settled and still inspired by the ever changing Cornish beauty that surrounds her every day.
