'I was slightly hesitant at first, not because I didn't want to work with Mark, but simply because I wasn't sure if I was comfortable with an entire exhibition of pictures of me!
'I am thrilled with how they have come out; they are beautiful. Mark is so talented - I wish I had a fraction of his skill!' Emma told Vogue.com.
A mix of mediums have been used including pastel, collage, ink and oil paint to create over 30 pieces
As a thank you the artist, whose career has flourished over recent years presented Emma with a painting of her choice.
Mark, who is based in Manchester said: 'It has been a wonderful privilege to work with Emma on these images.

Success: Because many of the portraits have already sold Mark has released a famed print of one of his portraits of Emma for £125

'I wanted to capture a moment in time, and by making each piece a quick snapshot.
'In some way I hope these works celebrate Emma in what she has achieved already, and in all the many possibilities to come.'
The works of art are available to buy and the exhibition closes tomorrow.
With most of the paintings already sold, Mark has also released a print of one of his portraits of Emma for £125.
