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 hosts two showcases a year in London, providing clients with a wonderful opportunity to view the latest artwork and discuss future projects and commissions. Adding to this, Gemma also exhibits throughout the year; the next exhibit, entitled “Hushed”, will be held in Farnham at the start of February 2025. This solo exhibition and PR preview are invite only - please contact the studio to have your name added to the list, a warm welcome awaits.
