ABOUT EMILY
Emily is an artist who is deeply inspired by the natural world and our connection to it. Through her work, she hopes to create conversation and engage people in the arts. Emily’s approach is experimental, tuning into emotions and body movement when creating. Colour, light, texture and atmosphere are all strong contenders in her work. She strongly believes in inspiring creative confidence in others.
After a varied creative career working as a photographer, videographer, illustrator and artist, Emily studied an MA in Children’s Book Illustration, graduating with Distinction in 2020.
Emily facilitates art workshops and works alongside local organisations, including Peterborough Presents and Nene Park. She was Art Pop-Up’s artist in residence at Deeping Lakes for Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust in 2021.
She currently facilitates:
Art Pop-Up’s Art Club sessions in Bourne for over 55s
Artivity in Market Deeping for Secondary School ages
Individual workshops in the Peterborough area
