GEMMA GRAO

THE TRAVELLING ARTIST

Independent & Original Art – with an edge of adventure

From bold murals to painted canvases, I create bold, bespoke and beautiful art for venues, spaces and homes across the UK (and beyond).

If you’re searching for something different that’s sure to catch eyes, create conversations, and inspire feeling, you’re in the right place

Got an Idea?

Let’s make it a mural!

I’m Gemma,
The Travelling Artist.

And the world is my canvas.

My roots are in Leamington Spa, but I travel the country (in my beloved campervan) to paint bespoke murals and bold art in unique places and beautiful spaces.

I’ve painted walls in busy cafés, boutique hotels, campervans, living rooms, yoga studios, and everything in between. 

My work fuels connection - to places, to people, to the stories that shape our lives. Whether it’s painting a feature wall for your bar or coffee house or a custom print for your home, all my creations are made by hand - with a ton of heart.

WHat do I offer?

I work with bold businesses and

creative souls to bring

your unique ideas to life.

I’m well-known for my vibrant portraits of sultry females and travel-inspired tropical scenes. But I’ve painted everything from pizza to planets, and everything in between.

The middle panel shows a woman with long, straight blonde hair holding a paintbrush to her chin, smiling, against a plain white background. The bottom panel displays a vibrant, colorful painting of a forest with trees and flowers in various shades of purple, pink, blue, and green.
Let’s get started

Here’s what my clients said after the paint dried…

  • A wall with a large green botanical mural of leaves and a wooden shelf.

    Cynthia, Café Desa

    “I had a vision for our wall and Gemma got the design brief on point! It was such a breeze working with her. She really listened and transformed the whole café with her design! The wall is not merely a feature, but it blends in so harmoniously with the rest of the café.”

  • Art wall with a painting of a woman with blonde hair holding a burger and a hot dog, with the words 'boss babe' in pink neon above, illuminated by purple and pink lighting, with a disco ball hanging from the ceiling.

    HART + CO

    “I came across Gemma's insta over lockdown… now we have three! She took our brief and took it to a whole new level.”

  • Bathroom wall mural with tropical leaves in pastel colors, a small corner sink with a rose gold faucet, a mirror, a soap dispenser, a toilet paper roll, and a patch of beige tile on the lower part of the wall.

    SOL TAN STUDIOS

    “The studio... has been taken to another level which is giving people some serious holiday vibes!”
