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.
Come see art IRL!
Starting March 28th this painting from Everything’s Fine will be on display at Powell Lane Arts in Collingswood, New Jersey, as part of their 2024 Juried Show! The opening reception is March 29th from 3 to 6 PM.
