Calling Home: Emily Wolfe in Oxford

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 19 June 2022

Auckland-born artist Emily Wolfe moved to London over 20 years ago and has managed to sustain an international arts practice with regular exhibitions in both Aotearoa and the UK.

The daughter of writer Richard Wolfe and artist Pamela Wolfe, and a graduate of the Elam School of Fine Arts, Emily received the Ryoichi Sasakawa Scholarship to study for a Masters in Fine Arts at the prestigious Slade School of Fine Arts at University College London in 1998.

These days, Emily is based in Oxford, where she lives in an old Victorian house with historian husband Professor Ian McBride (who works at the University of Oxford), daughter Iris and a cat called Ramona.

She's Calling Home this morning.
