“I have always created. I have painted all my life. Painting is a like an itch, a daily requirement, an urge, excitement. Creating is compulsive. I paint constantly, almost 7 days a week and still I love it. My ideas come intuitively, like a compulsion. Predominantly I do not have references, I follow the paint and let something new come to life. I feel all humans are creators, the key is to create our own creations. ”Emma has been selling her work on a full time basis since 2003. She was born in South Wales UK and raised by a very creative family. Her family lived in the beautiful ‘Towy valley’ in Llandeilo, West Wales. Her home life was idyllic, an old farm house in the middle of picturesque countryside. These early days have influenced her work immensely.
A passionate and prolific painter. She loves exploring the endless possibilities of harmony between shape, colour, texture and movement. Emma paints in her studio at home, in her converted garage at the bottom of the garden.
Emma uses mainly acrylic paint, it’s fast drying qualities are perfect for the highly textured layered work that she creates.
Her work is bold and bursts with colour. You can find her work in galleries and in private, public and corporate collections both home and abroad.
“Painting is like life, it’s a journey, the joyous moment to moment juiciness of the unknown. Enjoyment of the painting is my passion and once completed it is time for the next one, the journey being as important as the ‘end result’
Is it bold? clear? fresh? Does it ‘pop?’ are questions I ask myself at the end of a painting, if the answer is yes then the painting is finished. ”
She has work all over the world including America, Nepal, Turkey, Greece, France, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Singapore, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and Australia to name a few.
