My name is Mandy Emerson. I am 38yrs, married with a beautiful daughter Lucy who is 9 yrs old. Enduring endometriosis since the age of 15yrs had engulfed a huge part of my life up until I had a life changing operation 5yrs ago at the age of 33yrs. I am now able to put my full energy and creativity into my work for the first time and it feels great.

The presence of grand dresses, trees and birds nests are a
representation to me of a strong nurturing figure, ie: nests cradle the eggs, the tree cradles the nest and the Mannequin representation speaks for itself, the female.

I am very drawn to the movement in ones garden that goes on everyday undetected by the human race as they scurry to and fro in their busy daily lives in and out of their front doors. “BLOOM” is a magnificent word and I have applied my interpretation of “bloom” in my work of late, hoping to capture the viewers attention to look even closer at my work and find hidden messages at the end of the garden sanctuary.

The products I apply are all added in series of layers giving them an almost vintage antique look as if they have been stored away in an attic somewhere waiting to be re-discovered, waiting to have the dust erased once again in the home that they belong in. After all, the home and garden is a nurturing place.
