Emma is a graduate of University College Falmouth (formerly Falmouth College of Arts).
She works by drawing with ink and a dip pen, which gives her work a spontaneous lively feel. She then adds colour to her ink drawings digitally which offers flexibility and allows her to work quickly.
Emma enjoys adding little humorous elements and details to her drawings. She enjoys illustrating for both fiction and non fiction for both children and adults.
Emma is based in Sheffield, United Kingdom and works for clients both locally and nationally.
