“I am a contemporary, figurative, narrative realist oil painter using threads of symbolic connotations intertwined within my work, to create enchanting and thought-provoking artworks. My portrayal of the female figure is often within nature or juxtaposed alongside internal and external forms.

I often bring flora and fauna to the space, with varying symbolism, uniting them with the human form and inviting the viewer to create a dialogue of meaning, or narrative to the piece.”  

Emma lives in a seaside town in South East Essex with her three youngest children and her husband.
