Australian artist, Gemma Rasdall, uses mixed media and washes of colour to create works that draw on her deep affiliation with the water. With experimental materials and aerial perspectives, Rasdall pushes the boundaries of traditional landscape structures.  Subtle stitching and bold mark-making tell stories from the sea and of those who dwell upon it. The result is undeniable calm -  windows for both audience and artist alike to rest their eyes and restless spirits.

​

Gemma paints from her Hobart studio and lives aboard her modest yacht on the River Derwent, with boat-dog, Arkie. Art and life are inextricably intertwined.
