Central to Emma’s practice is a deep rooted affinity with the natural world.
“I approach painting in much the same way I go out walking, there is no rigid plan or direction as such, I let my instincts and curiosity guide me. The possibility of chance, the unexpected, is what drives me to keep pushing, exploring further, and this in turn, feeds directly into my painting practice, the surrounding landscape becoming an extension of my studio”.
Largely intuitive, Emma’s work provides a sense of calm and contemplation, capturing a fleeting moment or recalling a memory. Utilising mainly acrylic on raw canvas, Emma adopts a minimal approach to painting, resulting in emotionally charged abstract works.
