Island Artist Emma Carter Harbour House show

Island Artist Emma Carter - Solo show of 2014 collection ...

HARBOUR HOUSE GALLERY, KINGSBRIDGE TQ7 1JD
19 - 31 AUGUST

A large display of new originals and limited editions will be on exhibit in the beautiful Georgian Harbour House Gallery in Kingsbridge from 19 - 31 August.

It will feature Emma's latest contemporary impressionistic 2014 collection, following on from her successful Avon Mill Island Artist tour. This is Emma's largest annual solo show eagerly anticipated by collectors and other artists alike. After a long autumn and winter painting and walking, soaking up the atmosphere of the land and sea she loves a new series of expressive, vibrant paintings have emerged.

Emma says ' I love big stormy seas, wild winds and the raw coastline of the Southwest. I like islands too especially Burgh Island where I am lucky enough to have a family home. I like empty beaches that I can swim on hot sunny English days and big wide skies that offer up a myriad of colours.

I dream, I think I paint.

I paint what I love.

There is nothing more or less than that. For every brush stroke I make it reminds of the feeling of these things, these elements of life and I try to translate that free spirited essence I think we all crave from time to time. The sea, the weather and the land we stand upon are great levellers and teachers, as great as the masters I have studied in my art training but when it comes down to it, I am just an artist who simply just loves to paint'.

In recent years Emma has become a well known and respected fine artist and curator in the South west and has collectors from home and foreign shores who are keen to house her expressive atmospheric oils and also support a very promising talent.
