My name is Gemma. I am 29 and have special needs because I had a stroke when I was very young.

I love creative things – writing, drawing, acting – and work on these whenever I get the chance. My aim is to earn part of my living selling my creative work.

When I am not creating things myself I like meeting new people, reading and going to films.

My mother has looked after me since I was born and is my biggest supporter.

I have written a book about a girl with special needs and created other art works shown on this website. I really hope you like them.
