I’m Gem, an artist exploring the balance between detailed realism, expressive painting, and playful illustration.
For years, I honed my craft in precision, capturing the finest details in pencil. Now, I’m embracing freedom—letting oils bring movement, and letting doodles capture spontaneous joy.
Whether it’s a meticulously shaded portrait or a loose brushstroke, I welcome you to discover the layers of my art.

FOR ALL THE 80’s KIDS
• Acid- and lignin-free and made to last. • The natural finish enhances vibrancy and depth. • Textured matte surface that enhances depth without losing clarity. • Handmade wooden frame from Italy with premium plexiglass. This is a beautiful, bright and nostalgic print, made from a drawing that took me over 300 hours to complete. I collated all the original toys, and photographed them professionally, then studied the photographs to create the drawing with coloured pencils. You can choose to have the print only ( send rolled in a protective tube) or in a mount (border) or framed IMPORTANT NOTE: • “The size you choose (e.g. 12 × 16 in) is the outer size of the frame and mount.” • “The artwork inside is one size smaller to fit inside the mount.” • “The frame itself is slightly larger than the selected size because of the frame profile.”

On location illustrations
I’ve always sketched my surroundings whilst travelling, waiting in airports/hospitals etc, but now I’ve started to share those sketches with you.
I show the process of creating these images over on my instagram.
I’ve just launched my first print from these location illustrations as I had so many people asking to buy one!

I am so proud of my children’s book that I wrote and illustrated over 4 years.
It’s a book about being kind and looking out for people. and how a few kind words help someone so much.
It’s also full of crystal magic, what’s not to love!
