The artist John Victor Emms was born in Bordon near Aldershot on 13 February 1912. Emms studied art at Woolwich Polytechnic Art School under A. Buckley and L.S.M. Prince from 1930 to 1934. He later went on to study at Hornsey School of Art under A.S.H. Mills and F. Mitchell from 1946–48 and at the Goldsmiths' College School of Art from 1948-49. In 1948, Emms was awarded the Art Teachers Diploma, and became a teacher at Raine's Foundation Grammar School and Woolwich Polytechnic Secondary Art School. He usually signed his work "John V. Emms" to distinguish himself from the Victorian artist with the same name. The artist exhibited widely in the United Kingdom. Two paintings titled 'Ramsgate' and 'Mediterranean Harbour' were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1953 and 1958. Some of his paintings were acquired by the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery in 1968.
