About Emma

Hi. I’m Emma, a self-taught artist living in West Yorkshire, England with my husband, Adam and our two rescue dogs, Alice and Luna. I feel very lucky to work full-time from a home studio.

I paint abstract soulscapes of the heart, infusing a piece of myself into each creation. I seek inspiration from the world around me, drawing from personal experiences, nature, music, literature and the interplay of light and colour; the inspiration is endless. 

Painting brings me indescribable peace. I never feel more alive or at one with the world. The dance between control and surrender of fluid art moves me deeply. This interplay between intention and serendipity infuses my work with a vibrant sense of energy, excitement and spontaneity. It is my goal to share this same sense of joy and affinity with my collectors, inviting a moment of escapism and transcendence.

History

I am fortunate to have experienced a diverse variety of countries and cultures having lived in Dubai, the UK and travelled all over the world. My travels have undoubtedly shaped my artistic journey, giving me a zest for exploration and driving me to make deep and meaningful connections with others.

I have always loved being creative - whether this was drawing in my sketchbook or writing poems as a child, to creating ballads on my guitar as a teenager, I embraced any opportunity to let my imagination run free. My first artistic passion, singing, led me to higher education where I gained a first class degree in classical music. From there, I pursued my love of education and trained as a primary school teacher. Despite adoring teaching, I grew weary of the limitations and challenges of being an educator in the UK. 

As awful as it was, I am grateful for the time and space the pandemic provided. It was during lockdown that I found alcohol ink. It was love at first sight. I was immediately captivated by the vibrant hues, soft blends and endless possibilities.

I have learnt so much in the past three years as an artist and have so many ideas and goals that I want to explore and achieve. I hope you will continue with me on this journey. If you want to see more behind the scenes, follow my Instagram.  

Thanks for your time, love and support.
