- About me -
Hello! I'm Emma and I'm an illustrator from seaford, east sussex. I graduated from the University of portsmouth in 2019 with a 1st class honours degree in illustration. I work across a range of mediums to create artwork inspired by nature and current world issues such as climate change. I work with traditional mediums such as watercolour, pencil, printmaking and handmade typography, textile methods such as embroidery and fabric print, and i also have experience with software such as adobe photoshop, indesign and procreate.
my goal is to become a children's book author & illustrator, creating books that nurture a love for the planet, and develop creativity and curiosity.
When i'm not drawing i enjoy beach cleaning, baking, knitting, listening to music (and going to concerts!), spending time outside in nature and archery!
​
I hope you enjoy my work! If you're interested in commissioning me or collaborating on a project please don't hesitate to get in contact!
