Emma Humphrey
My work is primarily painting, using acrylics, oils, inks, and mixed media. The focus of my work is figurative, but I also paint abstract landscapes and draw with charcoal.
My work draws on and expresses the emotions of my painful experiences in life, a safe place where I can explore difficult feelings and thoughts, and make sense of these experiences. It can be a way to find comfort, calmness, and solace. Having been dominated by others, my art is where I can explore my identity.

My work draws on and expresses the emotions of my painful experiences in life, a safe place where I can explore difficult feelings and thoughts, and make sense of these experiences. It can be a way to find comfort, calmness, and solace. Having been dominated by others, my art is where I can explore my identity.
However, my work goes beyond the personal, and my intention is that others will have an engagement with the emotional content of my work and feel encouraged to connect with their own stories, their own emotions, and to find their own voice.
My work is also rooted in hope and beauty, and my intention is to share this with others through my art.
