THE STORY OF EMMA'S ART

Artist Bio

 

I was born and raised on the south coast of England in West Sussex, where I currently live with my husband.  I have both the sea and countryside within a few miles from my home.

 

I have had an interest in art since school and am passionate about the Impressionist era and slightly later. This movement is a style which captures an image as if someone had seen it for just a moment, with lots of colours and mainly outdoor scenes. Artists I love include Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne and Van Gogh. Other different styles I enjoy are found in works by Edouard Manet, Henri Matisse, and I find Salvador Dalí interesting!

​

I have been painting on canvas in oils and acrylics for around 20+ years and I am self-taught. My techniques include dry brushing, sponging, pouring, as well as traditional brushes and palette knives in various shapes. I use acrylic paint, metallic, gloss and pearl plus some acrylic inks. Each painting varnished. 

​

I paint when sitting in my garden, my studio/office or even at the dining table! I teach painting, mainly in the winter months, from my home office / studio. I am also a professional wedding photographer - www.adamsphotography.info
