Collection: Gemma Griffiths : Painter : Malvern

I divide my time between the landscapes of the Malvern Hills, and the coastlines of West Wales and West Cornwall, painting and sketching along coastal paths and beaches. My studio looks out towards the Black Mountains and this series was developed from my sketches there in Autumn 2025.

My practice is rooted in drawing and shaped by an exploratory approach to materials. I work across oils, inks, pastels, and charcoal, often combining them in a single piece, with charcoal remaining a constant favourite. My style ranges from representational to impressionistic, and at times leans into abstraction, depending on subject and mood. Life drawing continues to be a vital discipline, keeping my work fresh and responsive.

While much of my focus is on landscape and seascape, I also enjoy portraiture and still life, believing that exploring new subjects sharpens observation and strengthens the eye.

Since 2024, I have co-run Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week on a voluntary basis, supporting artists and makers and encouraging the wider public to enjoy the befits of engaging with art.
