Profile
| Growing up on a small ranch in Southern California, Gemma Gylling developed her love of nature, animals and creativity. Gemma currently lives in Valley Springs, California with her husband, Bill and their two dogs.
An avid traveler, Gemma thrives in locals that allow her the opportunity to photograph the wildlife. In addition to most of the United States, Gemma has also travelled to Costa Rica, Alaska, South Africa and Canada. Many of the reference photos Ms. Gylling uses for her paintings are from her Wildlife Safari trip in South Africa. Gemma, a member of Artists for Conservation, pledges a portion of her sales to Animal Conservation groups including PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society) and the National Wildlife Federation. Gemma volunteers as a Docent for the Lions at the PAWS Sanctuary in San Andreas, California. Working with dogs is more than an artist passion for Gemma as she competes in Obedience trials, shows her own dogs in conformation; and assists a professional dog trainer with his clients in the performance arena. Harlow, Gemma’s Rottweiler, has her CDX (Companion Dog Excellent) and is working on her Utility title. Cage, Harlow's pup, just started in Obedience and is being shown in the conformation ring. After years of experimenting in oils and studying under the well known artist, Edgardo Garcia, Gemma realized her artistic potential. Painting in oils portraying tranquil wildlife and nature occupied her interest for years. Gemma then became interested in the colored pencil medium and began participating in workshops from several well known colored pencil artists. She developed her colored pencil technique to create a photo-realism quality. Applying several layers of color with pencil allows Gemma to simulate the look of an oil or acrylic painting. Known for attention to detail and exquisite skill with colored pencils, Gemma’s work is enjoyed by many animal art collectors. More often than not she hears the comment "I can't believe this is done with colored pencils". Gemma teaches her techniques at colored pencil workshops all over the country. Gemma's other passions include seascapes in oil and creating stained glass windows. Clients are also able to purchase Limited Edition Prints of her Animal Art and Oil Paintings. |
