About the artist
Hi, I’m Gemma, a Pastel Artist, Mum and pet/wildlife lover.
In July 2020 I picked up a pencil again, many years after leaving art college. People said how good I was and following hours of practicing, out of the blue, people began asking for commissions on social media.
From a hobby to business in six months was a shock to me. I had always drawn cartoons in the past, but found a new passion for graphite and coloured pencil animal portraits. After three years, I found pastel pencils and fell in love using them, so I decided to specialise in them. Here I am today, living my dream as an artist! Based in Nottingham, I work in my cosy home studio.
Feel free to get in touch if you have an idea for your own pet portrait or have a photo of another subject, e.g. wildlife, landscape, etc., which you would like me to transform into a unique pastel artwork.
Come along, show your support for local artists and maybe take home something special. Your visit helps promote creativity, conservation, and community, all in one go!
