EMMA GREEN

Following Foundation Art & Design at Ipswich Art School, Emma went on to a Fine Art Degree in Hull. After graduating in 2001, she returned to Suffolk, East Anglia, where she now lives and works.

“Being immersed in this landscape of marshy saltings, it's scents and sounds, the muddy estuaries and beaches of shell and shingle provide an endless source of inspiration.”

"I've always been drawn to isolated stretches of beach and areas where the rivers meet the sea. Working in oils, the compositions of my recent work combine large areas of more ephemeral, transient elements of sky, sea or estuary, balanced by the suggestion of more solid forms - a lone cottage or boat hut. I love the physical act of painting and the sensuousness of the medium. Paint is applied freely, gesturally, allowing thinner swathes of paint to run and dribble while other areas are more thickly applied. The layering of paint allows for some areas to be scraped back to reveal hidden colours, forms and textures.
