British artist Mark Demsteader has created a series of portraits of Emma Watson. The “Emma” collection consists of 34 works in charcoal and gouache, ink, and oils. Emma initially contacted Demsteader to purchase some of his work as a 21st birthday present to herself, and instead he asked if he could paint a series of her.
The collection will be on exhibit at the Panter & Hall Gallery on Bury Street in London, June 15 through July 1. Items are available for purchase now through their website. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to “Emma’s charity of choice, CAMFED International, a charity which supports the education of girls and economic empowerment of young women in Africa.”
“There is a gallery in Oxford that I used to look in after school which exhibited Mark’s work. His paintings were always my favourite. For my 21st birthday I decided to contact Mark to buy some of his work. When he asked if he could paint a series of paintings of me, I was a bit nervous about the idea at first but obviously incredibly flattered – it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. I am really excited that Mark said he would support CAMFED International with this exhibition, too. They are a great charity doing an amazing job educating girls in Africa. I am Mark’s biggest fan and I am hugely grateful.” – Emma Watson
“It has been a wonderful privilege to work with Emma on these images. The idea behind them is to make a collection to celebrate Emma’s birthday. I wanted to capture a moment in time, and by making each piece a quick snapshot, I hope to capture Emma as she reaches 21. In some way I hope these works celebrate Emma in what she has achieved already, and in all the many possibilities to come.” – Mark Demsteader
We have previews of the series in our gallery. You can read more about the artist and the collection on Emma’s official site, and larger previews of some of the works can be seen.
