About Me Image
Hi, This is me!

Let me introduce myself!

Hi, I’m Gemma, the face behind DOTSbyGemma and I am a cartoonist through and through.

For as long as I can remember, I have been constantly drawing – whether during classes, phone calls or meetings. Give me a pen and I’ll unleash my creativity (I just can’t resist). It started small, with tracing telephone numbers, drawing mustaches in the newspaper and making crazy scribbles in my notebooks. But before I knew it, all the margins of my notebooks were completely full. I am regularly asked whether I am paying attention… I can assure you, I certainly am. For me, drawing is a way to listen better and process information more effectively.

I love her art. She's so inspiring. Her art is so beautiful. To be able to see her art around my house would bring more light and positivity into my life. It's a blessing to be able to purchase her art. Thank you for all that you do Gemma. You're amazing!

Barbara Snider

Via Instagram zie ik Gemma's mooie werk vaak voorbij komen. Ik wilde al heel lang een van de portretten en had deze nu eindelijk gekocht. Het portret is gemaakt op mooi stevig papier, was als een cadeautje ingepakt en ik had hem een dag later binnen. Ik ben er heel blij mee!!

Maartje

I've ordered one of her original water colour pieces. Was very pleasant talking to her, I got my order pretty fast. The packaging was lovely and she included some extra stickers and a handwritten letter. The artwork itself is of very high quality and looks absolutely stunning. If you like her artwork, I can absolutely […]

I ordered an original watercolour drawing. Even if it got lost by the post office, Gemma did me a new one in similar art. It is gorgeous and I really love it. Thank you Gemma.

I received my DIY kit all the way in South Africa. It took some time but Gemma followed up all the way. The package finally arrived and I am loving it. Each item was so beautifully wrapped I felt bad opening them.  The step by step explanations are easy to follow and I have made some […]

I ordered an original watercolor as the original that I wanted one had sold out. Gemma created a similar piece which turned out so beautifully.

Ariane

Loved the ebook! Wonderful and therapeutic line works! Enjoying every bit of it! Thanks a lot!

LIA KNIJNIK

I bouth the booklet to help myself with anxiety and I don't regret it. Gemma's art is amazing and I somehow found a relaxing energy from it, so I thought why not do it myself. The ebook is super nice, easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

Luz

I ordered both of the how to e-books for myself and my kids to do together and they are awesome! We've been so stoked on them and had so much fun learning how to do the patterns together. They are super fun and super relaxing to do and a great way to spend time together […]

Super excited for my order to get here!! I’ve followed your art-page on Instagram for some years, so I’m really looking forward to learn to doodle like you ✨

I loved this little doodling e-book. It printed out beautifully and the videos that went with it were great. ❤️

I ordered one of her originals and I am in love with it! Her art is so unique, I've never seen anything like it. I absolutely love having her art in my house and it makes me happy whenever I catch a glimpse of it.

I purchased both parts of the digital Lines Unraveled and I received them by email overnight.. it was the best email to wake up to.. I enjoyed following along Gemma’s patterns and it was so exciting to see how my patterns unfold. I purchased the digital versions as I wanted to be able to reprint […]

Beautiful unique and original piece, unlike anything else I've seen out there

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with the world, Gemma. I purchased Lines Unravelled and it is very cool. Lots of clear, step-by-step instructions and areas to practice. Love it!

Rene

After seeing Gemma’s beautiful work on ig I wanted to give a new technique a try and ordered the box set for lines unraveled 2 – because hand made paper and some more sweet pens seemed like a real good deal to me. And what can I say: Best deal one could make! The set […]

Julia

I'm so glad to have found Gemma's art and tutorials! They drew me in right away and I sent off for the DIY kit and tutorial booklet to learn more and I'm so happy I didn't wait. With her clear step-by-step process I had confidence to give it a try and even expand with my […]

Sherri

I purchased both the online course and the double book set and I am so glad I got both. This is so relaxing and fun to do, and Gemma's way of explaining steps as well as her infectious enthusiasm and encouragement makes the couse a perfect combo with the booklets and supplies.

Carol Lopacinski 

I bought the ebook “Lines Unraveled” here from Gemma. The purchase process was very quick and very easy. Unfortunately I haven't had time to work with it yet. But it looks very appealing and inviting. The patterns presented are beautiful and explained step by step. You can see in every detail with what joy and love […]

Friederike (Germany)

I read great reviews about “Lines Unraveled” on Instagram, so I bought eBooks 1 + 2 and I LOVE THEM! The patterns changed the way I thought about sketching in a way that Zentangle wasn't able to. I highly recommend!

Panayiotis

I purchased 3 of Gemma’s original works recently. They are SO lovely and textural and work perfectly as a little trio on my wall. They arrived perfectly packaged in a nice strong box that kept them flat. Gemma was great at keeping me informed of the delivery process and payment. BUY MORE ART directly from […]

Karen

We just recently commissioned a design from Gemma for our company, website and branding materials. First of all, let me say that she’s not only professional, very easy to work with, very transparent, and how she works with people, and at the same time stays true to her personal style and artistry. The result is […]
