'Benji'

Process and completed painting of my pet staff, 'Benji'.

'A Response'

Two pieces of my work in the Citadel, St Helens. This group exhibition is titled 'A Response', the brief involved creating work based around personal feelings or memories regarding the Citadel. My paintings were based on the theme, Identity. The mask represents the hidden personality that a performer covers with their character during a performance. I feel an invisible mask is used by many people in circumstances where they may feel uncomfortable or they are not confident in showing their 'true' personality.

St helens open art competition

Recently had two of my pieces selected for st helens open exhibition at the world of glass. They will be on show alongside around 400 other great pieces until November time. 

Art Bag

This image may look familiar as it has been previously uploaded unedited as a painting. I have recently edited it to make it appear brighter and bolder to submit to a bag design competition. I am pleased to announce it won me a place of one of four winners who will get their design printed onto 30 canvas bags to be sold to the general public during 'Art in the Market' at St Mary's Market, St Helens.

Vortex degree show

Long time

Can not believe I haven't posted for so long!! I graduated with a bachelors of arts honours degree in july! Such a proud moment. We had the final degree exhibition in may time (pictures to follow or if you can't wait you can find them on www.facebook.com /emmaflynnartist). Since completing my degee ive been working on a few ideas and have joined 'platform' an arts community in st Helens which has helped me experience art opportunities in the 'real' world and meet some great local artists! I not have the 'Blogger' app so will hopefully be able to keep you updated on my progress into the art world :-)

First final idea for Domestic Abuse

I have done so much research on feminism and domestic abuse as well as producing paintings. As i haven't updated for a while i thought i would share one of my final outcomes i have been working on.
