Emma Chambers

ELECTED ARWS 2022

Emma Chambers studied Textile Design at Brighton before embarking on a career as a freelance designer. Elements of her training, such as pattern and layout still inform her work, along with influences from artists such as the late Dame Elizabeth Blackadder.

Emma is most attracted by plants that go unnoticed; small landscapes under foot. With intense observation she is able to untangle detail from the most complex of visual challenges. Painting from direct observation, sitting at ground level, Emma gains a unique perspective, almost an insect eye view of the world. She invites the viewer to sit where she sits and enjoy the quiet observation of nature. Notes are often added to paintings, giving her work a personal sketchbook quality, adding to the viewers sense of being present.
