Gemma did an arts foundation course at Cheltenham Art College and then went onto Camberwell Art College to train in Metalwork and then Ceramics. Wooed by the dizzy lights of the film industry she went onto to train as a film and television designer at Kingston University where she met Claire.  More recently Gemma has trained at John Cass in jewellery making.

After several years of working in the film industry, Gemma founded act up a creative organisation that runs acting courses and communication skills training.  It’s been running for over sixteen years and within that time has worked with many charities and organisations to enable more and more people to experience the benefits of the arts.  She also works as a casting director and producer in theatre, dance and film and an agent to several lovely actors.

Gemma has always continued to create her own work, and Love Art has emerged from the passion of both Claire and herself to make the arts as accessible to as many as possible.   We believe everyone can draw and we believe everyone should explore their creative side as much as they possibly can.
