Cat Gemmill

Artistic background

Cat Gemmill is a freelance Artist working in Glasgow. Raised in Ayrshire by the seaside, she then went on to study Design for Textiles in Edinburgh. Cat then gained her (BA)Honours from the School of Textiles in the Scottish Borders.
With a background in Textile Design and a true love of colour - Cat’s work consists of mostly large scale, expressive pieces using very deliberate, texture-like brush strokes and broad colour palettes. Having grown up close to nature and studied in amongst rolling hills, nature has become her main inspiration. Showing appreciation to the positivity we gain from being amidst nature is the purpose of her work. Acrylics are her medium of choice, enjoying the way quick brushstrokes allow blending on the canvas, adding more depth. Her work focuses on how colour can impact us and simply bring pleasure to the viewer. The subjects of the art range from wildlife, landscapes and florals - all relatable subjects.
During Cat’s first year as an independent Artist, she has curated her own solo exhibition for the launch of her collection in Glasgow. This work lead to invites to exhibit in London, Venice and Rome the same year.
