Emma is a British artist originally from Birmingham and currently living and working from her studio in Italy. After graduating from Liverpool John Moores University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Emma worked in Birmingham for ten years. There she produced works in her studio, exhibited and worked on commissions. Simultaneously she also worked for galleries and managed one of Britain's largest commercial art galleries outside of London. She also worked for design companies, PR agencies and creative organisations. At this time her works were urban, city inspired landscapes & skylines. Emma has always been inspired by travel and culture which led her to travels around the world and a final big move to her childhood passion of Italy. Emma in the last eight years has personally restored a ruined stone farm house with traditional materials and set up her artist studio. The house is set in a few hectares of land that Emma works on and inspires her current work Constantly being surrounded by nature, this environment has determined a shift in content, her works now are centred around floral, botanical influences with acrylic and watercolour pieces on paper and canvas.
