Actress Emma Samms is staging her first-ever solo art exhibition in her home county of Gloucestershire.
For five days, beginning tomorrow, Tuesday February 17th, visitors to Stroud’s Subscription Rooms will get an exclusive first public look at her unique new collection.
From her detailed pen and ink drawings to her series of colourful, new abstract paintings, Emma, who many will remember as ‘Fallon’ on the TV series ‘Dynasty’ as well as starring in many cinematic roles, says she is “nervous but excited” at the prospect of sharing her passion for art with the world.
“I’ve been doing pen and ink drawings since I was a teenager, when I did my art A-level at the age of 16. The transition from pen and inks to my large, abstract paintings is fairly recent,” explained Emma.
“Hopefully I’ll sell enough paintings that I’ll be able to go back to my studio and have the room to paint some more, as I find the process of painting them extremely fun and enjoyable.”
She has been selling her work, including numerous private commissions, for many years. In addition to being known around the world for her acting career and charity work, Emma is also a writer and photographer.
Sponsored by Wotton Auction Rooms, Emma’s exhibition will be held in The George Room of The Subscription Rooms in Stroud, Gloucestershire from 10am to 4pm, February 17th – 21st.
The artworks will be available for purchase via Emma’s website, www.emmasammsart.com, on February 18th.
