About "Racing to the Finish"

I earned my student money working at the racetrack taking telephonic horse racing bets at the Kenilworth Race Track in Cape Town. I just love the sound and feel of the races. It is exciting and I just love the movement and sense of competition that this painting represents, set at the Greyville Racetrack in Durban.

About Emma

Bold brushstrokes, vibrant colours, big canvasses and contemporary themes characterise my work. A cross-section of themes with personal favourites of Contemporary Portraits, Wildlife, Flowers and Landscapes. I am inspired by beautiful, striking images to work from. I am compelled to paint, and am amazed by the output and end result. People's reaction to my work propels me and I find it very exciting! The sale of my work is personal validation and I am excited that I have works in the UK, USA and South Africa. I live in Durban and we own two Bed & Breakfasts in this beautiful city.

My sister and I were sent to Art lessons from when we were small and I was fortunate enough to be taught by the amazing Nina Campbell-Quine at her Hyde Park Child Art Studio in the 80's. I attend Durban-Based workshops to learn and grow as an artist, and am the founder of Durban Art Workshops in Westville, Durban.
