Gemma Raponi

I am a versatile freelance artist based in Southsea, Portsmouth, specialising in illustration, graphic design, and concept art. Originally from Brisbane, Australia, I bring a rich blend of cultural influences to my work. With a deep-rooted passion for creativity, I've had the privilege of collaborating with various galleries and art studios, enriching my artistic journey. My style is characterised by fluidity, allowing me to seamlessly navigate through different mediums and bring concepts to life. From initial idea to polished masterpiece, I am committed to delivering excellence at every stage of the creative process. Central to my practice is a dedication to inclusivity and respect, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. Through my work, I strive to ignite imaginations and leave a positive impact on both individuals and communities alike

I am thrilled to highlight my relevant work experiences that have further shaped my passion for the creative industry. In Australia, I served as a dedicated gallery assistant at Land Street Gallery + Studio in Brisbane where I maintain the gallery and studio, social media and clientele. This role provided me with valuable exposure to exhibition installations, curating, program management, art handling, customer service, and various administrative tasks. During my time at university, I had the privilege of interning with their galleries, where I gained hands-on experience in art handling, curating, creative communication, artwork handling and management. Moreover, my studio practice in university further refined my material handling skills and reinforced my ability to work collaboratively within a team. Additionally, I am adept at using tools such as Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premier pro and After Effects.
