​The subject matter of Emma’s paintings jumps from vast open spaces and woodlands, to intimate still lifes.  Trees, wild hedgerows, farmed landscapes and the ever changing seasons are a constant source of inspiration.  

 

She likes to capture those moments we so often fleetingly glimpse on a quick drive to the shops, on a walk with a friend or simply in the way a beam of sunlight casts a shadow across a lane. She uses loose and playful brushwork to express a joyful response on the canvas.

​

Working in oil paint, whether painting in nature or in the studio, Emma uses a combination of photography, memory, exploration and intuition to guide her. Ultimately she creates uplifting paintings that evoke a sense of optimism and calm. 

​

Emma's forthcoming solo show 'Winding Light' runs from 20-29 November 2025.  ​​
