The Artist - Emma Astley
I have been sketching and painting for years
and completed 'O' and 'A' level Art and Design during my school
years. I started painting murals whilst I was pregnant with my
first child. I looked through numerous wallpaper books and bought
endless decorating and baby magazines looking for inspiration.
After much deliberation, I sketched out and painted a life size
'Jungle book' room for my son which, when I had finished, was
something unique.
Family and friends saw my son's Jungle Book
room, and I found myself painting more and more. My hobby has
now become my career, and I find this very satisfying and rewarding.
Em is for Mural is based in the
Tamar Valley
and works throughout Devon & Cornwall
