Gemma Alonso de la Sierra
Artist and Illustrator


  • Sketching in South Queensferry
  • In the Cadiz studio


Gemma Alonso de la Sierra is an artist and illustrator based in Cádiz, Spain. 
Trained at the University of Edinburgh and Cambridge School of Art, she has developed 
a regular practice of observational drawing and writing that feeds into both her digital 
illustrations and her oil paintings. Her work is driven by a deep interest in the human 
figure and in building atmosphere, and it carries a spirit of experimentation 
across drawing, printmaking and painting.

That same spirit of exploration shapes the sketching and image-making workshops
she runs, where she invites students to experiment freely with different media.
