Artist Biography:

Emily Peers (b. 1996) is a British painter whose work explores the emotional presence of imagined and remembered landscapes. With a lifelong connection to the natural world, her practice is deeply rooted in the rhythms and colours of nature, often guided by the quiet poetry of shadow and light.

Working primarily in oils, Emily paints both en plein air and in the studio, where smaller studies evolve into larger, more immersive works. Though grounded in observation, her paintings often drift into an inner terrain — offering viewers space to find something familiar, personal, or dreamlike within each scene.

Emily trained classically in Florence at Charles H. Cecil Studios, where she studied traditional figurative oil painting through the sight-size method. Since then, her practice has shifted toward a more intuitive approach, where technical foundations meet the freedom of the imagination.
