Studio Fridays artist Emma Chambers, who you will usually spot with her painting gear nestled in a hedgerow somewhere, has been included in the August edition of Artists and Illustrators magazine. The magazine has put together a fascinating feature about artists who are showing at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition for the first time. Emma, whose work Nettles and Ragwort 2 grows across a double page, is quoted as saying that ‘art is simply something she does all the time.’

Congratulations Emma, let’s hope it’s the first time of many.
