Emmy Bridgwater was a British surrealist whose career was cut short by family responsibilities. She did not discover surrealism until she was thirty and, just over a decade later, she had to abandon it. Out of the kindness of her heart, she devoted the rest of her active life to caring for relatives who could not look after themselves. The result is that her body of work is small and she is little known.
