Boldly painted. Joyfully feminist.

Hi! I’m Gwenn Seemel.

Since 2003, I’ve been making brightly colored paintings that are both playful and intense. I release all my work directly into the public domain, free for use by anybody for any reason. Because of that unusual choice, I was invited to give a TEDx talk in Switzerland.

You won’t find my art on social media, but it has appeared in Newsweek as well as on the cover of an Oxford University Press book. I’ve worked with institutions like Princeton University and Garden State Equality, and I received a 2026 Fellowship from the NJ State Council on the Arts. I live in Lambertville, New Jersey.

See my art in person in Philadelphia this year as part of the public art exhibit 52 Weeks of Firsts!
