about 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

In ‘Local Derby’, Emma turns her attention to the open sweep of Hackney Marshes – the green-and-white pitches that form the beating heart of grassroots football in East London. She captures the energy of those weekend derbies and long-standing local rivalries, played out along the River Lea where Hackney and Walthamstow meet. It’s a landscape of shouts, cheers, mud, cold wind, laughter, and community – a place where neighbours gather, teams are formed, and friendships are forged over the simple joy of the game.
