Color is seductive — and it hides everything.
Take the rainbow away and what’s left is the painting itself: value, form, light and edge.

Hi, I’m Emma.
I’m a figurative oil painter based in New York City. My work explores the complexities of womanhood through contemporary interpretations of classical painting — vibrant pink worlds, feminine motifs and the language of storytelling.
I’m fascinated by duality: the way power and sexuality can sit alongside beauty, softness and traditionally “girly” traits. Figures, clothing, costume and stage-like poses let me explore those sides of identity — a little like a game of dress-up.
My background in painting, art history and education taught me to look closely at both the traditions behind a painting and the choices that make it feel contemporary and personal. That’s what I love sharing: using the language of classical painting to make work that’s uniquely yours.

COURSE CONTENT
The course is divided into seven modules, each building on the one before. We start with materials and choosing your color, move through research and reference, then paint together from the first drawing to the final touches.
It’s made for painters who love traditional work with a bit of zest — whether you’re newer to oils or looking for a fresh way into figurative painting.
Working in one color keeps the focus on what matters most. As each stage comes together, you’ll feel your eye and your hand grow more confident.
