Emily Powell
Emily Powell is a contemporary artist living in Devon, with a studio on the edge of Dartmoor. Often working on a large scale, colour, joy and freedom pour out of her paintings, from evocative landscapes of Devon and Scotland to surreal still lifes, powerful abstracts, grand florals, ethereal flying wildlife and the journey of domestic life with her husband and young daughter. Expressive, unapologetically positive and full of emotion, Emily’s paintings resonate with collectors worldwide and have generated her a 35k+ Instagram following.
Growing up in Liverpool, Emily studied at Norwich School of Art for her formal training, with a sabbatical at the Ecole Régionale des Beaux-Arts de Rouen (2008-2011). She has exhibited with the Royal Society of Art, collaborated with MoMA, the National Galleries of Scotland and The British Museum, and was part of the 2020 BBC Documentary for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Show. Emily has also been a guest lecturer at Sotheby’s Institute of Art.
In 2022 Emily published her first book, Start Painting Now, and in the same year she was invited to paint the front entrance at Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children. In the summer of 2022 a solo show in St Ives, The Year Of The Tiger, led her to be hailed as ‘one of the most important emerging artists in the UK today’. Early 2024 saw a successful solo exhibition at London’s Portland Gallery and there have been many mixed and solo shows in between.
Emily has exhibited with Morningside Gallery since 2019, within mixed exhibitions. Her joyful works featured regularly in the gallery windows throughout the months/years of lockdowns, connecting people and generating responses we have rarely seen before or since. Notes of appreciation appeared through our letter box from passers by, NHS staff, regular clients and children. That strangely distanced time has thankfully now passed but the importance of warmth and human connection remains. We hope that you will feel some of Emily’s uplifting and positive energy through her paintings.
