About Jemma
Jemma Newman is a Perth-based watercolour artist working along the coastline of Western Australia, and from her studio in Carine, WA. She is a member of the Watercolour Society of Western Australia and is recognised for her refined, light-filled approach to painting.
Her elegant watercolour artworks are defined by clarity, movement, and a strong sense of place. Jemma’s paintings resonate with collectors drawn to the quiet beauty of the coast.
The seaside is her second studio
Often found smiling as she paints en Plein Air, Jemma uses watercolour on location to capture the incredible light and movement of the coast. She finds painting outdoors infinitely inspiring, with colours and energy that can’t be replicated through a photo.
You can often find Jemma painting with her toes in the sand at Perth beaches, including:
Trigg
Scarborough
Cottesloe
North Beach
Sorrento
Fremantle
Demonstrations and live painting
Jemma often paints demonstrations and live at corporate events, cafes, and functions. She loves creating a recognisable Perth seascape within a few hours, as visitors and attendees enjoy watching a local creative at work.
