Emma completed her BA Hons Degree in Illustration at Plymouth, before being awarded a Gold Award for Best Newcomer by the Association of Illustrators in 2012. This led to her work being displayed at Somerset House in London, and subsequently opening her own gallery in Ilfracombe, Devon. Emma mainly uses acrylics for her art work, and loves animals, with her dog Arnie coming to work with her every day at her gallery.
