British-born artist, now based in Atlanta, Georgia | floral paintings with a sense of vitality, harmony and serenity

Emma Bell is a British-born artist whose work captures the beauty of life’s fleeting moments through vibrant, expressive art. With a focus on flowers and beach scenes, her paintings are a celebration of colour, form, and the emotions that nature stirs within us. Her work has evolved from a traditional and impressionistic approach to floral subjects into a more abstract and free-form style. Today, Emma’s canvases feature bold, loose layers of acrylics, oil pastels, charcoal, and graphite. This eclectic mix of mediums allows her to create textured, dynamic compositions where the shapes and textures of flowers remain visible yet abstracted—imbuing each piece with a sense of life and movement that echoes the transient beauty she seeks to immortalise.

Emma’s artistic journey began early, deeply influenced by her great-grandmother, a landscape painter, and her grandfather, whose artistic family nurtured her creative spirit. Emma spent countless hours sketching landscapes and studying flowers in her family’s garden, cementing her lifelong passion for capturing nature’s beauty. This early connection to the natural world continues to inform her work today. Emma finds the fleeting nature of flowers—how they bloom in brilliance and wilt so quickly—particularly poignant, inspiring her to capture their delicate beauty before it fades.

While Emma’s formal education led her to a degree in Business and Marketing, it was her move to Atlanta, Georgia in 2009 that allowed her to transition from a career in marketing to full-time painting. Embracing her artistic roots, she turned what had been a beloved hobby into a flourishing career, painting full-time and establishing herself as a sought-after artist in her new community. Now a wife and mother of two young boys, Emma finds inspiration for her paintings not only in nature but also in the joy and beauty that surrounds her everyday life.

Emma’s art is designed to create a blissful and inspiring atmosphere, inviting those who view her work to relax, unwind, and connect with the beauty she so passionately captures. Through her use of vibrant colours and dynamic textures, Emma Bell’s art transforms any space into a celebration of nature’s simple, but profound, elegance.
