About Jemma

Jemma Newman is a Perth-based watercolour artist working along the coastline of Western Australia. She is a member of the Watercolour Society of Western Australia and is recognised for her refined, light-filled approach to painting.

Working primarily en plein air, Jemma paints on location to capture the shifting colour, atmosphere and rhythm of the sea. From Sorrento and Scarborough to North Beach, Cottesloe, Trigg and Fremantle, the Western Australian coastline forms both her studio and her subject.

Using professional-grade watercolours, Jemma creates elegant works on paper defined by clarity, restraint and a strong sense of place. Her paintings resonate with collectors drawn to the quiet beauty of the coast.
