About Me

I'm Jemima, an artist and mum living in Hoedspruit. I spent many years living in Botswana as a child, and, though I’m originally from the UK, I came back to the bush as a teenager and never really left - thanks to a persistent (irresistible) game ranger (I know, what a cliche!) These days, I live with my now-husband and daughter Scout, plus our two mad Australian cattle-dogs. Here, art has become my way of telling stories about the wild places we have been lucky to call home.

I started painting while working in the Okavango Delta, drawn to watercolour because it’s unpredictable and full of energy - just like the animals and birds I paint. My work is bright, a bit quirky, and always about representing both character and movement.
