Em Hoten

Em Hoten is an artist based in the Peak District. She finds inspiration in the ancient landscape that surrounds her, painting the majestic scenery through her preferred medium of oils and cold wax.

Em's artistic process becomes a heartfelt response to the emotions that bubble within her, both capturing and releasing them. She blends and builds layers of transparent colours using traditional brushes and silicone blades, but also exploring an array of more unconventional tools from lolly sticks to carved potatoes and sponges, to create her captivating textures and surfaces.
