the artist

emma is interested in the places and moments where we can find calmness and space as a balance to our busy urban lives. growing up in the countryside but based in london for the last 25 years, she is always chasing space. living in such a dense city, emma finds herself drawn to creating work that has an open vista and a clear horizon. continually inspired by nature and landscape, emma is a natural compositor and uses drawing, photography, painting and printing within her craft of each unique artwork.

the story

as emma dove into the history of the whipps cross lido – bathing ponds that opened in 1905 and closed in 1982, she was struck by the story of a past local. they told a tale of sneaking into the lido before it opened with their dad – enjoying the space when it was empty and completely to themselves. this evocative and atmospheric screen print conjures that early morning scene as the mischievous individuals popped their feet into the cold water with only the sound of bird song in the air. the water aglow with the peach tones of sunrise, the sky turquoise above them.
