EMMA BASS IS AN ESTABLISHED NEW ZEALAND ARTIST WHOSE PRACTICE CENTRES ON FLOWERS, NATURE AND WELLBEING THROUGH BEAUTY. Bass' floral compositions inspire metaphorical and narrative interpretations, they are regularly exhibited in leading art galleries in New Zealand and internationally and held in private collections throughout the world. Bass is the only New Zealand artist invited to exhibit at the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London both in 2016 and 2022. Bass seeks to cultivate a sense of hope, her work addresses a psychic human need for the uplifting power of beauty. This connects with her earliest career as a nurse in which she sought to heal and comfort. Bass says “Flowers are one of the most universal forms of beauty. They are tokens of love, a natural expression of the environment. Everywhere in the world flowers are cherished in some form. What's more, they are scientifically proven to improve mental health and wellbeing. Flowers have power!”
