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 to be as sustainable as possible, focusing on re-purposing and up-cycling other peoples waste into her treasure.

Creating Waves from Waste

Gemma’s signature in all her work is texture, she 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, such as fibreglass offcuts from surfboard manufacturing, to take the texture in her work to another dimension. Her sculptural, 3D works are so tactile that you want to reach out and touch them.

WHERE TO SEE GEMMA'S WORK

“I was blown away by the outcome - it’s stunning, you’re a great talent and I can see the dedication and passion you put into it. It will long provide memories of an amazing day and my fave part of the Cornwall coastline.”

Dan Dunleavey
“We love our collection of paintings so much and bring back so many happy memories of holidays and gorgeous times. I just love the texture, makes them feel so immersive..”

Louise Richards
“As the house is a recently built eco house, I wanted paintings that were also ethical to fit in with my eco & sustainable furniture. The paintings seem to have movement & flow. They bring colour & vibrancy to the house, and friends & family are always drawn to the pictures..”

James Dudley
"I absolutely cannot recommend Gemma enough. Whether it’s an art commission, wearable art or attending one of her workshops, you wiill have something wonderful to treasure for always."
