Organiser of the Great Create and Blank Canvas exhibits at Brixham College Adult & Community Learning Centre

Emma Carter has agreed to have a show of her seascapes and landscapes at the Brixham Adult & Community Learning Centre from 6th January until 13th February. Her work reflects her travels through Europe with golden landscapes reminiscent of Provence or Tuscany , some of which have a dream-like quality. Her family home on Burgh Island and her current home in Torbay are reflected in the acrylic paintings of Berry Head and local harbours.

Emma's work only reflects tiny signs of human life, a glimpse of a sailboat, a row of planted olive trees, a small dwelling in a field of flowers set against the immense backdrop of mountains. In today's hectic and overloading society, Emma's vast and open compositions provide a visual, escape to a serene and ethereal world. She has been influenced by the impressionist movement and began her career after graduating from Middlesex University with a BA Honours degree in Fine Art. Recent commissions have included seascapes for the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.

Emma is the organiser of the Great Create which is a six week art exhibition at held at the National Trust's Greenway property. This year she also organised Blank Canvas at Torre Abbey with a sculpture trail around the gardens. Emma taught adult classes at Brixham Adult & Community Learning Centre until she had her two children. She was an inaugural member of the Brixham Shoal of Artists and still demonstrates to art societies, hoping to enthuse others to take up the brush.

The exhibition at Brixham is open daily from 9.30am-3pm and on Monday to Friday from 6.30pm – 8.30pm . All work on show is for sale.
