Artist Information:
Gemma Pearce, was born in Dorset in 1972. Her interest in art began as a child when spending time with her father in his studio surrounded by his paintings, drawings, ceramics and large collection of art books. She has fond and vivid memories of being taken by him to museums and art galleries in Dorset and London.She lived and grew up on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck until she left home to study art and design, firstly at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design, and then at Bath College where Gemma achieved a BA Hons in Illustration.
Gemma has always been drawn to the sea and much of her work reflects the land & seascapes, small ports, harbours and fishing villages of West Penwith, and particularly Mousehole where she has been living for 8 years and works, running a small gallery with a friend.
Although her most recent work is mainly of a ‘still life’ nature she‘s also influenced by, and drawn to, the Cornish light and landscape, soft colours, shapes and textures, rooftops, wildlife and flowers as well as the more industrial working harbours and old tin mines. They feature a limited palette of colour allowing her to capture the subtle moods of her subjects matter.
