Emma Hill

Half English and half Norwegian artist Emma Hill paints from her home in Surrey, UK. She consider herself, self-taught, her ‘art’ education based on 8 years of intensive searching for art during her days as worldwide cabin crew for British Airways.

About her body of artwork, Emma says," “ My abstract paintings are raw, self-expressive and contemporary, blurring the lines between impressionism and graffiti. My painting explores my memories and experiences of nature: of the sea, the sky and the landscape. Instead of following the traditional sense of recording by recognition, my use of colour and texture documents my senses. The energy of my mark-making expresses my emotional feelings and associated memories of a time and place, holding the true essence by creating a visual dreamscape.”

“In creating, I’m spontaneous and intuitive. Each painting begins with a single brush stroke, starting a conversation. A streak of turquoise leaps over a zig-zag spectrum. Parchment and lilac play beside striking fluorescents. Prussian blue drips like pouring rain and brilliant white miniature dots light up the sky like stars. Paint is thrown wide and poured tight, meandering and flowing, determining our journey in life.

My artwork aim is to create paintings to dream into, constructing an intuitive world of love and happiness. Each painting is complete and given meaning by you, the imagination of the viewer.”
