Artist Interview: Gemma Rose Brook

In this episode, Steph catches up with artist Gemma Rose Brook. 

Gemma is an emerging artist who paints from life, so it was only appropriate that the interview take place cross-legged on the spring grass of Brownhill Creek Recreation Park. Tune in to hear about the mindfulness of Gemma’s practice, the stories behind some of her works, and her first solo exhibition coming up in November.
