Colour and light,
drawn from nature.

Alpine landscapes and water studies — where deep shadow meets sun-dazzled peaks.

About

Emma Lightowlers

As a British-Swiss contemporary artist and printmaker, I create work that traces a geographic journey from the mountains to the coast. Driven by a love for bold colour and dramatic contrast, I use a variety of techniques on canvas, paper and wood to capture the astonishing complexity and beauty of the natural world.

My work sits in collections in Switzerland, Germany and the UK, and I regularly exhibit in Switzerland and across Europe.

Next exhibition: Places to Escape To, 30 – 31 October in Allschwil
