Emma Lou Andrews Jane Phillips Award | Open Call
28th March 2026 - 23rd May 2026
Mission Gallery and the Jane Phillips Award are pleased to announce the recipient of The Maker | Jane Phillips Award 2026 as Emma Lou Andrews.
Emma Lou Andrews is a Caerphilly based artist. Her practice explores themes of joy and contentment, drawing inspiration from both indoor and outdoor spaces. Through the depiction of birds and fauna, combined with the gentle repetition of patterns inspired by quilts from her home, Emma explores the relationship between belonging and connection in the domestic and natural world; and how this feels to her.
Her creative process involves building layers of watered-down acrylics and then finishing pieces with oil pain; creating contrast in texture and sheen.
