Gemma Mangano is an artist living in Dardanup in the southwest of Western Australia. Working predominantly in oils, her primary focus is portraiture, which she finds to be an effective vehicle for commenting on the vulnerability of the human condition. Her aim is to communicate with the viewer on themes of loss, sacrifice, love, alienation and other emotional content. When creating art, Gemma enjoys making pieces that contain an element of storytelling, an emphasis on beauty and an atmosphere of peaceful solitude, all realised with simplicity.
