about me
I look out for the unloved elements, the unseen, I pay attention to details you might not notice - the alleyway, the tunnel, the corner on a tube train. my work catches a glimpse of something. with a background in literature and film making I search out the stories behind or imprinted on the fabric of things, just out of sight.

She is a member of the Riverside Artist’s Group and Harrow Road Studios.
"Emma Davis is a writer and visual artist. She is greatly influenced by Howard Hodgkin, as well as by Japanese block prints and Chinese pottery. Davis works across a variety of media, including oils, watercolour, etchings and pencil on paper, but all of her work really relates to drawing, an activity she finds somehow intimate." - Anna McNay, Assistant Editor Art Quarterly, deputy Editor State Media.
