ImagineNation Artist in Residence: Emily Hare
I work from home in a small attic room in the city of Nottingham, England, which I share with my partner, Matt Dixon who’s also an artist. It’s small, but it works!

I have a digital and traditional setup for my painting process. I worked for many years digitally (although I started originally in traditional media and have returned now to watercolour), and so I use my iPad now to sketch up ideas, experiment with colour comps and work out tricky compositions before transferring over to watercolour. Previously, I used a Wacom, but I just don’t need it any more and the iPad works great.
