Art that connects you — to the ocean, to stillness, to cherished memories.

Painting the peace of the shoreline into your everyday.


“I create textured, ocean-inspired artwork and immersive creative experiences that centre around one powerful idea — connection.

Through every painting, workshop or moment of stillness, I invite people to reconnect: with the sea, with their creativity, and with themselves. Using repurposed materials — from vintage fabrics to surfboard fibreglass — I build layers of texture that capture the rhythm and emotion of the ocean. Whether it's a bespoke commission or a soulful retreat, my work offers a quiet but powerful return to what matters most.”

Intuitive and emotionally grounded, Gemma’s work sits at the intersection of abstract expressionism and environmental storytelling—offering collectors an original, soulful reflection of place, time and texture.

A Painting As Unique As Your Story

Whether it's the view from your coastal retreat or the beach where you said ‘I do’, your bespoke seascape begins with your story. Each bespoke artwork is sculpted with Gemma’s signature textures, using reclaimed materials such as surfboard fibreglass, sand, rope and sea-worn fabric to bring your story to life with depth and dimension.

Where Ocean Meets Canvas

Repurposed textures, timeless moments — Gemma Lessinger’s textured wave paintings are sculpted using reclaimed coastal materials—fibreglass from surfboards, ghost nets, sand, and rope—to create deeply tactile seascapes that evoke the natural rhythm of the ocean. Her original seascape art captures the serenity, movement, and soul of the coast, with three-dimensional waves that appear to roll off the canvas.
