An MA in ceramics followed by stonemasonry training in Bath led Emma into stone carving, and for the past twenty years, she has been exhibiting and selling her sculpture in stone and bronze, most recently at the Fine Art Society, London, and The Stratford Gallery, Broadway.
Emma Maiden is represented by the Stratford Gallery, Broadway and Jenna Burlingham Fine Art, Kingsclere.
Emma Maiden draws inspiration from a variety of sources, and her work has a corresponding propensity to shift and change before your eyes. Those elongated carved faces have a Byzantine simplicity, sometimes invoking the tribal sculptures of Africa which Emma likes so much – that pared-down formality which was so admired by Picasso. Yet the elegance of a Duccio Madonna is there too – in the sinuous line which has the power to convey gravity and levity at once.
