The Artist
Emma Rose grew up between the West Country and London, loving equally the countryside, the sea and the city. Her colourful family instilled a love of art, theatre, literature, photography, dance, nature, gardening and a wander-lust.
After being educated at Sherborne in Dorset, she settled in London where she studied painting, photography and sculpture in Chelsea through ILEA. In tandem there has also been a life time of artistic tuition with her step-father, Godfrey Cake FRSA the painter, photographer and sculptor. She also trained in tap, modern, jazz and choreography at the Dance Centre, Covent Garden.
A vibrant London career followed - in theatre (Maybox Theatres) and film (Hobo Films, Mayfair Entertainment, Zooom Photographic and Film & General Productions) alongside dancing/choreography (Flos and Theatre In Trust).
After moving to Somerset she settled in a beautiful village just outside Bath in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In Bath she studied abstract theory/colour/technique which fuelled her creative passion to open her Art Studio in Wellow.
From an early age, Emma travelled extensively - these vivid experiences often revealed in her work, from memory and imagination. With an obsession for colour, form, texture and patina, her eye finds beauty in the most unlikely places which makes her work atmospheric and evocative. She is a colourist using mixed media - acrylics, enamel, spray, gold, sand, oil, India ink and deep iridescence float on canvas.
Visits to her studio are encouraged and information about forthcoming exhibitions and events are located in the NEWS section above.

"Having known Emma for more than thirty years I've watched her develop into an artist of tremendous sensitivity and depth; raw talent, realised in stunning works of bold and vivid beauty." Hugh Bonneville
“For those yet to meet or witness her creative prowess first hand, Emma Rose is without doubt one of the most talented painters I have ever had the privilege to meet. Unlike many other artists however, she also happens to be a quite beautiful person, open hearted, accommodating and naturally warm spirited. The extraordinary equilibrium she achieves daily in her roles as Artist, devoted Wife and Mother is testimony to her great courage, her fierce intelligence and a remarkable talent. A.k.a. the Rothko of Wellow, her paintings evoke immediate response from something deep within, though perhaps unlike Rothko, this feeling is unique for its sense of hope and love. Must be seen.” Mark McGann
“Emma is a wonderful person and an exceptional artist. She has a great vision that has helped her produce an amazing body of work.” Heidi Greensmith
“The Rothko of Wellow” Emma is a wonderful painter, whose vibrant abstract canvases would grace any interior. I strongly recommend you invest in her work. Emma is also a mover and a shaker in Bath and North East Somerset's busy Art world. She regularly holds open studios at her beautiful home in Wellow, and has created two iconic lions as part of the Lions of Bath 2010 project.” Marion Milne
“Emma's work is innovative, modern and utterly collectable . I can thoroughly recommend viewing her work.”
Martin Runnacles
“Emma is an energetic expressionist painter whose work is a vibrant and colourful addition to a room.”
Hugh Dunford-Wood
“I have known Emma for many years. Not only is she a wonderful warm person but also a talented and imaginative artist. Her work is a direct expression of her beauty and sincerity. If you can get to her studio you will not be disappointed.”
Tom Wakeley
“I have known Emma Rose for many years. Her approach to her art is interesting and unusual. She is dynamic, creative and capable in all aspects of her work, and very sincere in her presentation of it”. David Martyn
“I met Emma whilst doing some work for her at her studio gallery. She single-handedly converted me to modern and abstract art, and I have to thank her for opening my eyes. Her work is imaginative, creative and clever and I cannot recommend her highly enough.” Emma Ferrier
“Emma, has created some excellent and imaginative works of Art that would adorn many a fine wall. Visit her studio and see for yourself. I have a collection already!” Robin Brodie Cooper
“Personable, creative and has high integrity. Just three areas in which Emma excels. Her work is excellent and her enthusiasm for specific projects reflects her vibrant personality. Her artistic contribution to the Lions of Bath project is but just one example.” Chris Witty
