Boldly painted. Joyfully feminist.
Hi! I’m Gwenn Seemel.
Since 2003, I’ve been making brightly colored paintings that are both playful and intense. 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.
You won’t find my art on social media, but you can see it everywhere from Newsweek to the cover of an Oxford University Press book. I live in Lambertville, New Jersey, and the NJ State Council on the Arts awarded me a 2026 Individual Artist Fellowship for my portrait work.
As this video shows, during the last three weeks of August, I created a mural of a forest.
Thank you to everyone at American Fiduciary Services for making the experience so lovely! If you’re interested in the day-to-day of the making of a 330 square foot painting, you can access it for $5 on Patreon. (Catch a glimpse of what I shared behind the paywall here.)
