Artist: Gemma B. Benton

Gemma B. Benton is a mixed media, cold wax and oil artist who specializes in creating textured art with what may be described as an wabi-sabi aesthetic. Gemma's art is deeply honoring of her indigenous heritage and call for the viewer to find themselves in relationship with the seasons and cycles of time, with nature, ourselves and each other.

"The warmth of my art comes from the many layers of organic texture such as earth pigments, resins, ash and beeswax that are artfully embedded within each piece. As I lay down each layer I am in deep conversation with the spirit of place, the ancestral bones that lay in the ground beneath my own feet and my own ancestors that dwell within."
