Indian Leopard by Daisy Dollar, 2025
Always keen to support the young, Emma’s niece is holding her first solo exhibition as the next show in Langton Street.
Daisy presents a series of animal portraits inspired by the richness of India’s wildlife and culture. Each painting focuses on an animal’s form, presence and spirit, while drawing on the visual language of the landscapes, architecture and traditions that surround it. Elephants with faded festival paint, a leopard within the dusky pink city of Jaipur and birds darting through temple courtyards. Drawing inspiration from miniature painting, architectural details and the textures of daily life, each work uses colour to echo sari fabrics, spice stalls and religious murals, capturing the way colour pulses through India with energy and emotion.
Green Bee-Eaters by Daisy Dollar, 2025
Daisy is a fine artist working primarily in oil paint. She trained at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence and graduated this year from the University of Exeter with a degree in History of Art. Her practice focuses on animals — their form, movement and presence — and how we respond to them culturally and emotionally. Like Emma, India’s energy, palette and abundance of wildlife felt like a perfect match for Daisy’s way of working.
She travelled to India with her family for a month in December last year. She went with few expectations, knowing little about the country and having only seen poor representations of it online. From the moment she arrived, she felt an immediate connection. The warmth and brightness of the colour struck her first, mirrored by the warmth of the people. She was astonished by the richness of the natural world — alive with birdlife, wild animals and landscapes that felt boundless. She knew she wanted to create a body of work inspired by this place.
Sacred Cows by Daisy Dollar, 2025
This exhibition, like much of the work at Kelling Designs, is deeply influenced by the textures and colours of India. To present Daisy’s paintings alongside Emma’s designs feels very special, and they speak beautifully to one another.
Daisy would like to thank Emma Horne Travel, who organised our trip and is generously sponsoring the opening night. For more on her fabulous trips go to www.emmahornetravel.com
Bengal Tiger by Daisy Dollar, 2025
During their travels, they visited a school like this in Jaipur and Daisy was touched by their impact. The girls were full of energy and joy, and they deserve every chance in life. As a result she has chosen for a percentage of the proceeds from this exhibition to be donated to PPES, in order to help make that future a little brighter.
““Emma introduced me to the wonders of the country in a way I will never forget. She is a committed supporter of the Pardada Pardadi Educational Society (PPES), a non-profit organisation working to break cycles of poverty and gender bias in rural northern India through free high-quality education, meals, uniforms, scholarships, safe transport and other essential support for girls. In regions where caste and gender still dictate opportunity, PPES offers a safe, inclusive space for learning, equipping girls with the skills and confidence to build independent futures. “”

The exhibition will be taking place through the month of October at Kelling Designs in Chelsea.
