Where Tide meets Texture.
Intuitive, tactile seascapes crafted from reclaimed materials and shaped by the rhythms of the Cornish coast.


Gemma Lessinger’s paintings are immersive, tactile interpretations of coastal life, created using a distinct language of texture and movement. Working with reclaimed materials—fibreglass offcuts from surfboards, ghost nets, rope, sand, and worn fabrics—her art carries both the spirit of the ocean and the story of sustainability.

Soft, earthy palettes echo the Cornish coastline’s changing moods, from sunlit stillness to storm-driven energy. Each painting invites the viewer into a sensory dialogue: to not just see the sea, but feel its memory, rhythm and resonance.

Intuitive and emotionally grounded, her work sits at the intersection of abstract expressionism and environmental storytelling—offering collectors an original, soulful reflection of place, time and texture.
