I felt an urge to paint this portrait of Marcia - it's adapted from a photo I took of her, with her enigmatic smile and vivid colours, outside at night in Barcelona. I wanted to convey my love and appreciation, so I acted on the energy. I warned my sister-in-law Marcia, in a message, that I'd painted her. I asked her to let me know when she was ready for me to send over the jpg of it. She replied, "scary". She got to see the portrait the next day, at home, before going to work. She was apprehensive at first, saying, "Not bad Emma! I like it!" After a few days she got back to me again saying, "The more I look, the more I like. I love this portrait Emma!" I replied, "I find that the longer it takes for a painting to grow on me, the more compelling it ends up being for me. Perfection can be boring after a short while, it doesn’t hold our attention." This is what you want from the art you live with, a piece that you can keep on looking at and it keeps on giving you more and more. I simplified the tones and made all the colours up because the original colours were bland. It took a while to get the right shade of turquoise that's reflected in the shadows of the skin. I'm really enjoying creating portraits, let me know if you'd like to commission one?

Emma Plunkett is a life long practising artist, known for her unique and expressive style. Her art often combines clean and vibrant fauvist colours and intricate pointillist details to create captivating and original compositions. From 1995 – 2020, Emma worked intensively as a VJ (video projection artist) under the name Miss Plunkett. Emma is of 100% Irish decent, born and educated in London. She has a degree in Fine Art from the University of East London. Throughout the 1990's and early 2000's, Emma put on events, exhibited her art and performed her live video mixing on the London club scene. In 2002, after short creative stints in Barcelona, Ibiza and then Amsterdam, Emma continued her journey south to the province of Granada, in the south of Spain. She continued to video project at festivals and party's, collaborating on a mobile dance space in an 11m dome, where she also created decor, installations. She exhibited her art on the Costa Tropical, Granada, Costa del Sol and in the local community of Órgiva. Emma ran the local art group, where she was putting on large group exhibitions in historically important buildings. Emma moved to Barcelona in 2020, where she now lives and works – concentrating on stoneware sculpture, video and oil painting. Emma has a life-long unwavering devotion to art. The underlying sentiment in Emma's artwork is about the female experience from a woman's perspective. Her work is ever evolving as she experiments and explores ways to portray the female body in a manner which is both genuine and empowering. Other themes include friendship, surrealist forms, painting views that she loves, florals, abstracts and single items from her life such as her bed, a croissant or even just a cup of coffee.
