Biography
Emma Fitzpatrick is a contemporary Irish painter and printmaker, now based in Ireland after over twenty years in the UK. Her practice blends etching, monotype and drypoint, with outdoor sketching central to her process. She has exhibited widely across the UK, including the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE), the Royal West of England Academy and the Society of Women Artists, and in Dublin at the RHA. She received an Arts Council England Develop Your Creative Practice grant in 2019 and has undertaken residencies at Cill Rialaig, Co. Kerry, and Brisons Veor.
Statement
Emma Fitzpatrick’s work is influenced by the remote landscapes of Ireland’s west coast, dramatic weather, a primal sense of place, and traces of human presence. Deliberate, structured linework is set against fluid, painterly marks, exploring the fragile balance between control and the unpredictability of the natural world.
