"The Arts and Sciences
are Avatars of Human Creativity"


Mae Jemison

 

Meet The Artist

Hello, I’m Emma, a multidisciplinary artist and workshop facilitator based in Lincoln.

My work is deeply rooted in botanical inspiration, spanning from intricate murals and bespoke feature walls to large-scale installations.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed institutions such as, The Arts Council, National Heritage, and Doddington Hall, as well as participating in events like SO Festival and Lost Village.

My artistic journey has  been an unconventional path!

It wasn’t until my late thirties, when my children were nearing adulthood, that I fully embraced my creative calling. As a mature student, I immersed myself in higher education, beginning with an HNC in Fine Art and advancing to a BA in Fine Arts at the University of Lincoln. These formative years enriched my practice, allowing me to explore a vast array of disciplines, from photography and printmaking to set design and digital art. This diverse skill set is now the cornerstone of my cross-disciplinary approach.

Nature has always been a profound influence on my work, a passion ignited during childhood walks with my father. Today, my art reflects the delicate balance between our environment and its impact on our wellbeing.

My process often begins with photography, capturing the essence of nature, which I then abstract into varying textured compositions.

My work ranges from serene, abstract backgrounds to bold, vibrant depictions of endangered species, each piece a contemporary tribute to the beauty and fragility of our world.
