Gemma Colson is an accomplished oil painter based in Farnham, Surrey. Trained at Falmouth University (formally known as Falmouth School of Art), Gemma has continued her painting practice for over a decade, drawing inspiration from the macro close-up details we so frequently miss in nature. With the aim of bringing a sense of calm and serenity in to the home through subtle and ethereal colours, Gemma’s use of impasto mark-making suggests the intricate textures that we instinctively associate with the natural world. Gemma’s work is primarily created on a large scale, intentionally allowing the viewer to feel smaller when absorbing the calming aura of the artwork; similar to how one may feel when stood in nature and soaking up the sense of grandeur and tranquility.

Aside from working in her studio on new artwork ready for collectors and the commercial design industry, Gemma is also a qualified teacher specialising in Art for Undergraduate and Post Graduate students.

Gemma exhibits throughout the year as part of group shows and hosts solo exhibitions, providing clients with the perfect opportunity to discuss the latest collections and upcoming commission projects.
