Emily Grocott

I’ve loved painting and drawing since I was a child. At school I studied Art as a GCSE and at A level, but I went on to gain a degree in BSc Geography at Exeter University. After graduating in 2018, I took up painting landscapes again and have been painting since then, displaying my original work, prints and greetings cards in local Sussex art galleries.

I am self-taught, and have developed a detailed style, with which I aim to create an element of depth and photo-realism in my paintings. Though my work is so far mostly of the South Downs where I grew up, I have always loved Exmoor and West Somerset, having visited yearly each summer since I was a young child.

Like so many, I’m always in awe of the annual display of heather up on the moor, and I always knew I’d want to try and capture this sea of pinks and purple with oils.

Wildflowers in landscapes are a favourite of mine to paint, and I use them as an opportunity to decorate a piece with bright and vivid colours.

I’m also continually inspired by the places I have visited, including UK National Parks, Scotland, and some further afield landscapes in Europe.
