Emma Chambers

I can see her sitting beneath a tree

Her canvas growing into a camouflage 

Of her Surroundings

Brushes carefully and casually lying there

Like the other twigs

And how she too is nestled

In this other life where she remembers green. 

An exert from a poem by Charlotte Whittle for her mother and artist, Emma Chambers

Emma is interested in plants that go unnoticed; small landscapes underfoot. With intense observation she is able to untangle the most complex of visual challenges. Sitting at ground level she gains a unique insight, almost an insect’s eye view of the world. She documents what she sees and invites the viewer to take a closer look, and become absorbed in the quiet complexity of nature. Notes are often included in her paintings adding to the viewers sense of being present. 

Having studied textile design at Brighton Emma embarked on a career as a  freelance designer. Elements of her training, such as pattern and layout still in form her work. 

As an Associate member of the Royal Watercolour society she exhibits regularly at Bankside Gallery. She has also exhibited with the RI at The Mall Gallery and at the RA summer Exhibition. She is a permanent member of the Bakery Gallery, Portobello Rd, and has sold internationally, including Australia, Hong Kong, Us, and Europe. Twice a year her work can also be seen at Wimbledon Art Fair.
