Gemma Pearce was born in Dorset in 1972. She studied Art & Design at Shelly Park, Bournemouth and Poole College of Art, where she obtained a Diploma in Fine Art. Later she studied at Bath College of Higher Education where she obtained a BA (Hons) in Illustration.
Passionate about Cornwall, Gemma eventually moved to Mousehole with her family 18 years ago and, finding herself in the perfect place, surrounded by the sea, harbours, galleries and the ever-changing Cornish beauty, she has been constantly inspired to paint.
Recent art work is mainly of a ‘still life’ nature, but Gemma is also influenced by, and drawn to, the Cornish light and landscape. The soft colours, shapes, textures, patterns and rooftops, wildlife and flowers as well as the more industrial working harbours and old tin mines provide constant inspiration. She loves nothing more than getting lost in a beautiful view through a window. Gemma's paintings feature a limited palette of colour allowing her to capture the subtle moods of her chosen subject matter.
In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery, Gemma Pearce has also exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag us sourced from the Gemma Pearce artist studio and, like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art, it can be shipped worldwide.

Human beings have always had an intimate relationship with the water. Given the amount of the earth’s surface which is covered in water and the often unpredictable and life-changing nature of the sea, it is little wonder that seascapes have been such a popular subject for so long and no surprise that seascape paintings have an important place in the history of art.
Seascape paintings have a long history in both the Eastern and Western worlds.The walls of homes have been adorned with seascape paintings since the art of the secular painting first began to overtake religious works in numbers and importance.
As a country with an extensive coastline, paintings of seascapes have always had a special attraction to British artists. All the seascape paintings at Red Rag showcase the talent of British painters and their ability to depict changing light on water and rapidly altering climatic conditions. Many of the British artists who have painted these seascape paintings are also talented landscape painters, or worked in other genres as well as seascapes, such as still life or portraiture.
