Journey into your inner world
unfold your creative potential
Original paintings & prints
Gemma is a meditative, channeler of paint. She brings forth compositions of intuitive abstraction and subtle symbolism, resonant with transformational power.
I’m an abstract artist, creative guide and space holder for transformational processes.
I went from teaching art in the fringes of the UK mainstream secondary school system to becoming a freelance artist supporting critically acclaimed social justice projects; to Art Director of an award-winning Community Interest Company (C.I.C); to training as a Relational Dynamic Coach and Meditation Teacher.
From galleries to education settings, groups and individuals, for over a decade, I have lovingly honed and refined my skills to best serve the incredible individuals and groups that come my way.
That was my ‘outer/professional’ journey.
As a highly sensitive, introverted, intuitive, (INFP- Myers Briggs personality) I have spent most of my life learning how to work with myself rather than against myself.
Mastering my internal intensity, powerful imagination, heightened nervous system and fierce intuition has been a trip and a half (to say the least). For a long time I struggled without guidance, it was my creative expression that came through as a path forwards and showed me how I could sculpt my external reality into something that felt ‘more me.’
Hello, my name is Gemma
Creative Coaching
What is Creative Coaching?
Get out of your head and into real, physical, artistic adventures!
Creative coaching is the process of inner transformation through the creative process.
Get out of your head and into real, physical, artistic discovery
Over the years my coaching has become more and more refined.
If discovering the raw material of your inner world and amplifying the crap out of it, to create a ‘cosmic mirror’ doesn’t appeal… then I’m probably not your coach :)
But, if you know that inner life is where it’s at… and have a curious, playful spirit (even if it’s a bit buried and lacklustre at the present moment) and you’re serious about getting your creative potential on track- then let’s talk.
Intentional creative expression, for me, is ‘the’ way in. It’s a direct line to our unconscious and vast reserves of energy and awareness, that are just waiting to serve our next stage of life.
Abstract Artist
Painting for me is so much more than creating finished paintings. My first ever painting was a revelation and the beginning of a whole new chapter of life.
I’m deeply in love with the painting process, for me, there is no equivalent. The immediacy of expression that is available and the wildness and discovery of colour arrangements- there is nothing else like it! To me it’s the ultimate self reflection tool - I’ve learnt more at the canvas than in years of my voracious (self help) book consumption. I would love to share more with you about how painting can be a pivotal guide in an ongoing quest of awakening and discovery.
I LOVE to create bespoke, intentional, creative containers.
