emma mcclure

Emma McClure was born in 1962 and educated at Falmouth School of Art in 1980/81 before moving on to a BA Honors Degree in Painting at Winchester School of Art. In 1985 she completed her MA at Chelsea School of Art in London.

Emma has participated in many exhibitions throughout the country and was ‘Artist of the Day’ at Flowers East, London in 1986. Other exhibitions include the Contemporary Art Society (1988), Art for Sale, Art in Focus (1994), Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (1999) and Singer and Friedlander Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, Mall Gallery, 2003. She has also shown at a number of prominent private galleries including Thompsons Gallery, Piers Feetham Gallery and at Cadogen, London where she regularly has solo exhibitions.

Emma Currently lives in London with frequent trips to West Cornwall to see family and also to paint. She incorporates the impressions, images and motifs of her subjects into spacious and beautifully composed, serene scenes which have become highly sought after and much collected. Her seemingly simplistic, faux-naïve style complements both the aesthetic images and the subject of the paintings.
