Emily Mugridge
Emily trained at University College Falmouth and and exhibited in Cornwall for several years before returning to where she was brought up in Bollington Cheshire. She is a lecturer as well as a painter and divides her time depending on exhibitions.
"My paintings are not meant to be completely representational - more a record of how it feels to be somewhere at a particular time. I like to explore the expressive potential of paint rather than being concerned with stark realism."
She uses a range of media from traditional acrylics and oils to recycled DIY products, which help to capture atmospheric qualities in a landscape. She often stitches and folds the canvas before painting or drawing. She often works on her artwork by scraping, sanding, stencilling, spraying, splattering and washing the work to build up layers of texture and colour.
The result is work that has colour and energy that is conveyed in a subtle and beautiful way.
