Emma’s painting practise is exploring the psychology of the feminine paradigm; the impact of social media and its imagery on the female self-esteem and the changing identity of what it means to be a woman.
Emma’s larger practise explores painting, drawing and sculpture with an agenda of connecting and expressing emphatically to stories of the human condition, be it through portraiture, objects or in connection with the landscape, using subtle symbology and story telling to express her point of view.
