Hi, my name is Gemma Rakels, the face behind DOTSbyGemma. I am 27 years old, live in Deurne (the Netherlands) and I am an artist and art educator. In 2018 I graduated from ArtEZ Arnhem, where I got my bachelor's degree in Fine Art and Design in Education (a complicated name for art teacher).

After art school I had a lot of dreams: I wanted to work in a museum, draw every day and above all I wanted to start my own brand. Full of hope I started working and after a while it went better and better. Now I always go to work with a smile. On tuesdays and thursdays I work in a little museum in Deurne, next to that I started my own business: 'DOTSbyGemma' in 2019. With my own brand DOTS I design my own line of products, go to art fairs and give workshops, but mostly I draw a lot!

I make portraits, a lot of doodles and I also sell a lot of cool products like: magnets, stickers and totebags.

As a self-employed artist every day is different and that's really refreshing and fun! I work on all kinds of different projects at the same time and I really really love my job.
