Boldly painted. Joyfully feminist.

self-portrait by Gwenn Seemel

Hi! I’m Gwenn Seemel.


I make brightly colored paintings that are both playful and intense, and 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. My art has appeared in Newsweek as well as on the cover of an Oxford University Press book.

My current project is called Everything’s Fine.

It started out as a series of paintings about mental health, and it’s now a coloring book as well as a free high school art lesson plan. Please tell all the art teachers you know!
