Emma Fitzpatrick

Emma Fitzpatrick is an Irish contemporary painter and printmaker, born in Dublin in 1969 and based between Dublin and Leicester, UK. Her work has been influenced by the remote, natural landscape of the West Coast of Ireland where she visited many times since childhood and lived for a year. She currently uses monotype and drypoint techniques in her work but has used etching and lithography in the past. Emma was awarded a ‘Develop Your Creative Practice’ grant from Arts Council England in 2019 to develop her work as a printmaker. She attended an artist residency in Cill Rialaig, Co Kerry, Ireland in 2020 and Brisons Veor in 2021. She is a member of the Leicester Print Workshop and Visual Artists Ireland. She has shown her work in annual exhibitions in the UK including the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Bankside Gallery, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal West of England Academy, Graphic Society of Fine Art, Society of Women Artists, the Tarpey Gallery in Derbyshire and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. She had a solo show of work in Leicester in 2023. In the past, Emma had worked as a RTE Television Production Designer in Dublin and as a Concept Design Visualiser on international museum design projects from Leicester before focusing on her own work in printmaking and painting. She was commissioned to produce paintings for projects including a boutique hotel, Canal & River Trust and Leicester City Council. Leicester and Dublin
