Emily Ball

Emily’s paintings delight in capturing moments of the mundane, of taking a sideways glance at the familiar and of celebrating the joy and oddness of everyday life. The paintings are a direct, physical, sensual and emotional response to her children as she studies them discovering their own world and engaging with her. However, they are not sentimental portraits. They are tender, powerful, true responses to two small people: images that are exploring the bond between artist and subject, mother and child.
