Born in London in 1962, Emma McClure spent the latter part of her childhood in Cornwall and returned to live there more recently after many years living in London. The artists associated with St Ives were an early influence, especially Alfred Wallis and Ben Nicholson. A foundation course at Falmouth School of Art was followed by a BA Hons in Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and an MA in Painting at Chelsea School of Art. Since leaving art school in the mid-eighties, she has worked consistently as a painter and exhibits regularly, including several one- person exhibitions at galleries in London and Cornwall.
