Hi, I'm Gem, a traditional artist from Lincoln in Lincolnshire in the UK, currently working as a published freelance writer in the games industry and as a Concept Artist at Toasted Studio. I create traditional paintings and drawings inspired by mindful moments in nature and my own wildlife photography, seeking to bring a slice of the outside world indoors. I primarily create wildlife and animal art, but have also created portraits, pet portraits, landscapes, and fantasy/lore-inspired pieces.

I enjoy using watercolours, acrylics, water-based oil paints, and mixed media techniques, with the aim of creating art that strikes a balance between real abstract and realism, celebrating the joy and escapism found in both present spaces and fantasy places. I believe in the power of art for wellbeing, enjoying sharing my creative processes and techniques with others, and have previously contributed art to the Mind charity calendar.
