FUR and Feathers is the title of the forthcoming exhibition by EJ Curtis at the Angles Theatre, Wisbech.
Curated by Atelier East, Fur and Feathers is a collection of stunning portraits, painted, printed and drawn, of domestic and farm animals with particular attention to rare breed poultry.
As a self-taught artist living on a smallholding in Norfolk, EJ Curtis’s love of art has grown with her love of chickens and ducks.
Inspired by her first six hens, Emma now has many animals and not only does she use them as her inspiration, she also takes commissions from other animal lovers.
Karen Harvey, of Atelier East, said : “Emma has an incredible ability to really capture the beauty and personality of her subjects; this has to be because she really appreciates and enjoys working with animals. Anyone who loves animals is going to love this exhibition.”
Emma is currently studying for a diploma in pet portraiture with London Art College.
Fur and Feathers will be showing from Sunday, May 4, to Friday, May 30. On Sunday from 6pm to 8pm, there will be a free opening reception and everyone is welcome to attend and meet the artist.
