"The world is what we make it, so we should make it beautiful in every way we can" Jemma Jemma Skidmore - Illustrator & Storyteller

The Work: Picture Books, Studio Life, Slow Painting, Creativity and Joy

Welcome to the whimsical world of Jemma Jamie — the creative home of British-Canadian author-illustrator Jemma Jamie Skidmore. A Fine Art graduate from Falmouth University, Jemma has worked in film and TV as a Set Decorator and Picture Book Illustrator for the BBC, Netflix, and Amazon.

Now based in Gloucester, her studio overflows with sketchbooks, antiques, and magical ideas — from forced rhubarb to the hidden histories of colour and British flora. Her work is hand-painted in gouache on watercolour paper with care and detail.
