About Emily

Working from her home in Perthshire, Emily Crookshank creates drawings, etchings and ceramic sculptures shaped by the natural rhythms of Scotland. Her work is influenced by the west coast's shifting weather, tidal changes and the quiet, persistent forms that emerge from the landscape. Like Georgia O'Keeffe, she is drawn to the underlying pulse of things; the structures beneath the surface, the slow unfolding of organic life.

Emily's practice is deeply material. Charcoal, clay and etched metal plates become ways of tracing movement, tension and stillness. Her earlier career in Fine Art Restoration sharpened her sensitivity to surface and the physical life of an artwork.

She has exhibited widely across the UK over the past 15 years, with commissions for private collectors and organisations including Forestry England. Her work continues to evolve in close conversation with the land that surrounds her.
