Primrose Cottage Art is the studio of Emma Cooper, a mixed media artist based in Lichfield in the West Midlands. From small works on paper to large canvases, Emma’s colourful artworks are inspired by and celebrate nature and the changing seasons.

“Hello, I’m Emma. As long as I can remember I have loved to draw, paint and make things; I simply can’t remember a time when art wasn’t a part of my life. After studying Illustration at the University of the West of England, I worked in the arts management sector for 10 years, where I was lucky to be involved with many inspiring community and arts education projects. This has instilled in me a strong belief that everyone can make and enjoy art, and that creativity can be a magical way of bringing people together. 

I grew up in rural Wiltshire and my fascination with the colours and patterns of natural world provides endless inspiration for my art. In my spare time you will usually find me outside in my garden or allotment where I love to grow flowers, fruit and vegetables.”
