Hello, I'm Emma and I paint seascapes that celebrate the sense of calm we can feel when we remind ourselves to slow down and watch the waves. My hope is that my paintings can tide you over until you can next be by the sea yourself.
My work is fuelled by earl grey tea and beach walks, and I paint from my seaside studio in Brighton.
MY WORK:
Being by the sea makes me feel both calm and energised at the same time, and it has a way of making me breathe a little deeper. I paint waves frozen in time as a celebration of this feeling and as a reminder to slow down and notice the beautiful details that are otherwise easy to miss. The intricate shapes in the droplets of the splash, the patterns in the foam on the surface, the light that shines through the thin wall of water as it rises up. My paintings are about the calm sense of gratitude we can feel when we pause to watch the waves.
My original seascape paintings are released in collections a couple of times a year, with first access to those on my Collector's List. I also have a selection of high quality giclee prints - available to purchase directly by collectors, or wholesale by shops and galleries.
I also work with interior designers and businesses to bring the calming benefits of the sea into their spaces. If you would like to work with me, please get in touch.
SUSTAINABILITY:
Many of my paintings are framed in beautiful second-hand frames that I have sourced from local antique, vintage and charity shops. Giving old materials a new lease of life (rather than buying brand new) has a much lower environmental impact, and you also get a piece that is full of character and history.
When you order from me, your paintings will arrive in reused packaging from previous parcels. All of the bubble wrap, tissue and cardboard boxes have been saved from landfill to be used again (and hopefully again and again with your help). You will find a (recycled and recyclable) sticker on your packaging - please hang onto it and tick a box when you next use it so we can track the lives your packaging has had and encourage others to do the same.
I work with Ecologi who plant trees for every painting and print I sell. Ecologi plant a biodiverse mix of native tree species around the world, while employing local workers and supporting communities. So far, you've helped to plant over 3500 trees - thank you!
