Landscape Painting Workshop with Gemma Rose Brook

Join South Australian artist Gemma Rose Brook to learn painting techniques in capturing the essence of a landscape while enjoying a glass of wine. Gemma Rose Brook is an emerging artist who paints her environments from life, connecting and documenting her experiences.

Gemma Rose Brook graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Adelaide Central School of Art in 2019. In her first year of professional practice she was awarded a year long Artist Residency at Carclew House and the Carclew Fellowship where she had the opportunity to be mentored by Sydney based painter Tom Carment and travel to Sydney for professional practice opportunities, including a Masterclass at the National Art School. Working with Tom has enhanced Gemma’s perception on depicting light and hue in her paintings from life.

In 2020, Gemma was a finalist in the Heysen Prize for Landscape and in the same year won first place in the Royal Society of the Arts Youthscape Prize. Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions in South Australia and New South Wales since 2013.

In 2021, Gemma’s successful solo exhibition at Floating Goose Studios was a reflection of her time living in Pukatja (Ernabella), a remote indigenous community in the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. The close interpersonal relationships she developed, while managing the Pukatja Art Centre, deepened her respect for and connection with her environments and the land. Gemma is currently painting and teaching from her studio in Verdun in the Adelaide Hills and working towards multiple shows in both Adelaide and Sydney.
