Boldly painted. Joyfully feminist.
Hi! I’m Gwenn Seemel.
I make brightly colored paintings that are both playful and intense, and I release all my work directly into the public domain, free for use by anybody for any reason. Because of that unusual choice, I was invited to give a TEDx talk in Switzerland. My art has appeared in Newsweek as well as on the cover of an Oxford University Press book, and, in 2023, I made my film début in the Belgian documentary Queerying Nature.
My current project is called Everything’s Fine.
It started out as a series of paintings about mental health, and I’m currently transforming these images into a coloring book. The project is available as a free high school art lesson plan. Tell all the art teachers you know!
My blog is the best place to find updates about the project—sign up to receive emails whenever I post something new.
See my art in real life!
This painting, along with a few others from Everything’s Fine, are on display at Powell Lane Arts in Collingswood, New Jersey, as part of their 2024 Juried Show. This bird painting was selected by the juror for a merit award and it’s available for $800 plus shipping—and sales tax if you’re in New Jersey.
