Morwenna (1894–1984) was born in Portland Oregan, USA. In 1975, her family emigrated to Australia, where they chose the Stanthorpe area for its cooler climate and healthy mountain air. In 1923, she married Alec Gemmell: they farmed at “Braemar”, Glen Aplin. Morwenna’s preferred medium was watercolour and she enjoyed rendering the eucalypt trees around her.
Hubert Jarvis and Morwenna Gemmell shared a lifelong friendship and often painted together. The two paintings were painted from the same spot at the same time.
