Hi, I'm Jemma

I’m an artist, teacher and producer based in Hampshire's Southdowns. My work often reflects the seasons and is guided by my materials and the landscape around me,

Alongside my own practice, I teach creative workshops and deliver projects with other artists and communities.

I have had the pleasure to work on projects with Culture in Common (Arts Council England's Creative People and Places project in the New Forest), Hampshire Cultural Trust, the Spring Arts and Heritage Centre, Forest Forge Theatre Company, Music Fusion, Wellcome Trust, Battersea Arts Centre, Apples and Snakes, Paines Plough, Half Moon, Fluid Motion Theatre and others.

I hold a degree in Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts from The University of Auckland, New Zealand, and received a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England in 2023.

Kind words from lovely people...

'What stands out about Jemma is her empathetic and compassionate approach. She has a particularly strong understanding of the barriers faced by artists with neurodiversity, mental health conditions and others who may struggle to navigate the infrastructure of the cultural sector. She uses her knowledge and approach to support artists and produce programmes of work that have a big impact on audiences and participants. I hugely admire Jemma’s patience and her ability to listen, support and encourage those who can benefit from additional support, whilst maintaining high quality artistic results.'

Sophie Fullerlove, Cultural Consultant and Theatre Producer

'Working with Jemma is completely brilliant. I have hugely benefited from her knowledge and experience of providing accessible creative opportunities, her consideration of diverse needs and her deep commitment to wellbeing. I feel so lucky to know her!'
