‘REWILD’ COLLECTION
NOW ON
16 DECEMBER – 31 MARCH 25
AVON MILL GARDEN CENTER, LODDISWELL DEVON
This new collection was produced whist living in a yurt off grid surrounded by nature on a special piece of Dartmoor re-wilded land with ancient woodlands, rare indigenous species and stunning inspirational views.
Emma travels here to paint as an artist recluse uninterrupted except by her dogs to focus entirely on her practice as a painter.
The result is Emma’s most free flowing expressive work to date, full of colour and the raw energy of the elemental moors.
Garden centre open 10-5pm everyday. Exhibition runs in the cafe and above the cafe in the gallery room upstairs.
ISLAND ARTIST STUDIO OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND

ISLAND ARTIST TOURING ART VAN GALLERY AND STUDIO 2025
Dates on location TBC
(please see social media #burghislandartist for updates)
For over twenty years Emma Carter Bromfield has been a regular exhibitor at galleries with her fresh, atmospheric paintings of coasts and seascapes but now she will take to the local lanes as she sets up her studio and gallery at local beauty spots throughout the Southwest in her restored Luton van mobile galley.
She describes her style as ‘contemporary impressionism’, exploring seascapes and landscapes in all seasons in increasingly abstracted style.
Burgh Island is an enduring theme in her work and she will often be seen on the mainland carpark painting the island.
“My practice is based on an expression of a place rather than a realistic interpretation. I like to allow the atmosphere and free-spirited essence of a place to feed our souls, and I mainly paint from my head, allowing this to freely flow out on canvas.“
Getting out and about in the van has helped me get closer to the environment, it appeals to my gypsy artist heart, and immersion in nature is key for my practice going forward. I also love to talk to people who are also enjoying the same places and shared appreciation brings a sense of community which I love ”
Throughout Emma’s tour she will be painting in the art van and outside on location and will be happy to chat about her work at any time.
