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. I live in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Despite what the Internet is saying, I’m a real person.
In November, Milan Art Studios posted a video on YouTube claiming that my art was made by AI. They’ve since added some corrections in the text under that video, but they aren’t correcting the video itself, even though it has over fifty thousand views. I feel certain that very few artists would be happy with so many people seeing their art labeled as AI-generated. It seems to me that, for online art teaching company, Milan Art Studios still has a lot to learn about what it means to be both reliable and generous with their fellow artists.
My current project is called Everything’s Fine.
It started out as a series of paintings about mental health, and it’s now a free high school art lesson plan as well as a coloring book that’s designed to help you embrace your complexity with creativity and kindness.
