Emma Connolly is an artist based in Wivenhoe, Essex. Her website(www.emmaconnollyart.com) includes Bio and Artist statement telling us about her practice including art education and her art business. Working in paint or mono screen printing, her website above shows how eye-catching her web-site is and the images draw me in. She states that ‘During 2022, I have sold work across the world to 14 different countries as well as being included in permanent museum collections from the UK, to China and USA.’
Connolly is a member of People of Print Ltd a company promoting artists and designers. Since 2008,they made over 12,000 posts on Instagram and have 222k followers generating much publicity for artists such as Connolly. Perhaps being part of other business models eg online gallery saatchiart.com, gives weight to an artist’s own business?
Connolly has 19.8k IG followers alone and she has made 891 posts and uses reels which get thousands of views. Her last reel on Friday17th March 2023 had 3983 views, 391 ‘likes’ and 7 comments (approximately 10% likes to views).
