Winning Cover Artist
Gemma Stylz, originally from Lambeth,
London, born in 1982, and was raised near
Brighton in Sussex. During her youth, she
was passionate about skateboarding and
dedicated to her art studies. Today, she
resides in rural New South Wales, Australia,
where she wholeheartedly pursues her
career as an artist, all while managing a
bustling household that includes two kids,
two dogs, and an assortment of farm
animals. Gemma's artistic journey is
characterized by its breadth. She has a
preference for working with oils and has
amassed a substantial portfolio of traditional
pencil works on paper.
In the digital sphere, she utilizes software
such as Photoshop, Procreate, and Clip
Studio, creating captivating pieces, some of
which are now part of her emerging NFT
collection. Her artistic focus centers on
figurative illustration, wildlife, and portraiture,
characterized by intricate detailing. This
distinctive style has been cultivated over two
decades, during which Gemma established
herself as a respected international tattoo
artist, with experiences spanning New
Zealand, Japan, Canada, the USA, Australia,
and the UK. Previously, Gemma owned and
operated Great Lakes Studio in NSW, but her
career has since evolved, with a renewed
dedication to fine art and freelance services.
In the UK, she completed two Higher
National Diplomas in Fine Art and Illustration
with merits and distinctions, graduating in
2006. Gemma's works now reside in private
collections worldwide, a testament to her
commitment to consistently exceeding client
expectations. She remains deeply passionate
about pushing her artistic boundaries and
embracing new creative challenges.
