Emma is a British mixed media artist whose work draws deeply on her background in sculpture, set design, and life drawing. Her richly textured paintings and works on paper are imbued with theatricality and movement, often echoing recurring themes of flight, dance, and Greek myths and symbolism.
Inspired by her coastal home, she’s cultivated a ritual of collecting beach fragments - both natural and man-made. Combining these materials with recycled paper and graphics, and more traditional media, Emma creates layered compositions that celebrate the power of transformation. Her practice is a form of personal alchemy: part treasure hunt, part beach clean.
Emma often finishes her works (both originals and her giclee prints) with shimmering iridescent and metallic pigments, which she describes as the "sparks of ignition" that bring each work to life.
Emma studied at Wimbledon School of Art and Kingston University, before beginning a successful career as a set designer for film and television. She has since exhibited widely across the UK, and internationally as part of a Franco-British coastal art exchange in Ste Marguerite sur Mer.
