Emma Woolley is a Birmingham-based contemporary figurative painter exploring the fluidity of identity through portraiture.
Working instinctively in oil, Emma Woolley’s paintings explore the subtle psychological shifts that shape who we are. Using the human face as both subject and metaphor, her work moves beyond likeness to examine identity as something fluid, where emotion, memory and perception never stay fixed.
