Emma’s work pulls inspiration from the natural world and is then re-imagined into contemporary landscapes of her own. Drawing from her emotions and instinct whilst using a variety of materials,mostly acrylic paint,pastels and graphite as her mediums. Emma’s work brings a sense of serenity and depth, balancing the chaos against moments of calm.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am Interested in making the viewer feel some sort of connection or emotional response, and for them to then question that response and feel it deeply.

“There is something alluring about the vastness of abstract painting, it has no limitations, you can explore so many techniques and styles within it until you find your own voice. It’s visceral for me, a gut feeling and for me painting this way is how I can truly express myself.”

Im currently interested in the balance between strength and femininity, how beauty can have strength, it can be captivating, dark, moving and emotional, raw and unique. what it means to battle against a society that celebrates beauty but not in all forms, that it states what is beautiful, but if it is too beautiful then it has no substance. the push and pull of this impossible standard and the effects it has.
