About Emily

The colours of the ocean have been a lifelong fascination for me, I am captivated by the ever-changing movement and energy and immerse myself either in, on or by the water each day. I love to capture the raw energy and coastal beauty in my artwork that comes with the heightened awareness of this immersion and evokes such a deep connection for me. I aim to connect with those who feel vividly the elements of nature and see that same expression represented in my artwork.
