CV & Bio
Emma Hutchinson (b. 1992, UK)

My artistic journey centers around the human figure, focusing on its surface and texture. While the biological body is inherently beautiful in its uniqueness, I find that it's the small, intimate moments—the scars, blemishes, tattoos, and smiles—that truly encapsulate the essence of our lived experiences within our flawed flesh. Through my art, I aim to curate and share an archive of these poignant 'moments', celebrating the raw beauty found in the imperfections of human existence.
I utilize several mediums to delve beneath the surface of my subjects, leaving my mark by capturing the interplay of shadow and light on muscle and bone. My artistic practice serves as a continuous celebration of the diverse forms found within the human experience, embodying a journey without a defined endpoint.
As an independent artist rooted in Dorset, I specialize in crafting bespoke pieces primarily using oil paint, charcoal, and pencil drawing, which have found thier way into private collections around the world. Beyond my artistic pursuits, I've dedicated time to teaching children's arts through Menter Caerdydd, supporting the enrichment of creative learning among Welsh youth. Additionally, I've served as a visiting practitioner at private arts groups in South Wales, further fostering artistic engagement within the community.Education & Teaching
