Cornwall based artist Gemma Lessinger is mesmerized by the sea and her textured artworks are an ode to the wild, powerful and healing properties of time spent by the ocean. Using her textured artworks, her aim is to bring these beach memories to you in your home. Gemma’s aim is be as sustainable as possible, focusing on re-purposing and up-cycling other peoples waste into her treasure.

Gemma turns your beach memories into something you can not only see, but feel in your home. She does this using these two unique elements:

SAND – using sand collected from the exact beach your memory is from. Each location giving different colours and size of grain, creating a completely bespoke look with each piece.

RE-PURPOSED MATERIALS – up-cycling other peoples waste to create another dimension of texture in her work. Creating sculpural, 3D works that you want to reach out and touch.

Various original artworks available for sale on her website www.gemmalessinger.com along with limited edition prints, created in Cornwall onto sustainable bamboo paper.

Commissions of all kinds welcome, from painting on a classic canvas, to re-purposed surfboards.  The perfect bespoke gift to celebrate a big occasion, from birthdays to weddings and anniversaries.

Gemma also teaches painting workshops once a month, helping others to re-purpose waste into art.  To find out more head to www.gemmalessinger.com/workshops
