ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Reflections into time spent in the deep wild where humans do not have authority. Emily Lamb’s collection is an extended and ongoing deep dive into the realms of wilderness, ancient presence and practices through pure, human interpretations and expressions, and symbolic presence of spirit. With the planet in severe climate emergency, Emily has felt a calling to remember. We are not facing extinction: we already are extinction. Our insatiable appetites for now 100 billion land animals and trillions of ocean-living-creatures (each year) are now so extreme that we face global chaos and spiritual collapse. The next great flood is upon us, and this one rages fire. May the spirit return, be healed, and beauty through the divine feminine reign once more.

More about
Emily Lamb
For Emily Lamb, art is in the blood. The eldest granddaughter of wildlife artist and conservationist, David Shepherd CBE, Emily showed signs of artistic talent from a very early age and achieved high grades in art at GCSE and A’ level. On leaving school she travelled through southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand, before attending Falmouth University Art College where she studied the Foundation Course, before securing a place at the Charles H Cecil Studios in Florence.

With a professional artist as a grandfather and an aunt, Mandy Shepherd, who is a talented watercolourist, Emily’s artistic pedigree is a strong one, her talent, however, is very much her own.
