Emma Prill (Bachelor of Visual Arts) is an artist and educator based in Omokoroa, Bay of Plenty. Emma has been a finalist in the Molly Morpeth Awards and the Miles Art Awards and won the 2014 People’s Choice Award. Her installation Colourfield was exhibited in the Tauranga Art Gallery from November 2018 to Feb 2019.
Elaborately painted flowers and foliage are assembled together to capture a unique mood in a moment of time. Emma creates painted forms from canvas, assembling compositions to encompass vibrant colours and multi-textural forms. The flower gardens take several months to make. Unused, frayed ends of canvas are layered with paint to create texture.
