Inspired by the natural world, Gemma can often be found immersed capturing flowers, birds and wildlife in ink and watercolour. Often drawing things that are found in the garden or found in the surrounding countryside. She enjoys practising mindful drawing techniques such as blind, continuous line, and non-dominant hand drawings.

Gemma fell back in love with drawing during the 2020 lockdown. She found small snippets of time to draw in her sketchbook. In joining a group online called the still point sketchers and by continuing to produce daily drawings it awoke her creativity.
