"The paintings of Gemma uplift my spirit and reveal the beauty and sweetness of the sacredness of life. Flowers and music are surely among the precious things of this world, and these lovely paintings reflect their evanescent and eternal qualities with delicacy and luminescence."

Feodore von Hammerstein

"Gemma Gariel's acrylic and pastel collages are charming valentines communicating her love of life, beauty and painting to people who see with their hearts as well as their eyes."

George Morris
