All Emma’s work is connected, People know her for her unique style of painting.
Strong colours, imagery and the way that they amalgamate are consistent in all her work, past and present. Elements of trees, water, space, sky, the microcosm of nature weren’t intentional, they just appeared in the paintings as if there was a higher power at work. Her inspiration comes from actually doing the work along with the colour combinations and the way it all works together in creative harmony. Emma is currently studying Expressive Arts Therapy and hopes to integrate this into her practice.
