Gemma Kenward is the artist behind Gem Doodles. Born just outside London and now based on the south coast of the UK, she creates her illustrations and paintings from her studio by the sea.

Gemma studied at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth, completing both a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design and a Degree in Illustration, where she specialised in children’s book and fashion illustration. After graduating, she launched a successful bespoke wedding shoe design business (gemmakenwardshoes.com) and has since gone on to exhibit and sell her artwork to collectors worldwide. Her illustrations have been featured in magazines, as well as in numerous private commissions.

Today, Gemma continues to explore her love of storytelling through vibrant doodles, whimsical characters, and imaginative worlds.
