“Huge thanks to you Emma for everything you did to assist with the success of our recent Luxury Product Showcase event. From your live illustrations during our cocktail event, to turning around some imagery for a last minute launch. You are an absolute delight to work with and I hope we get the opportunity to do so again soon!” Erin Walsh

“A joy to work with and my clients absolutely loved your illustrations.” William Tan

“My artworks capture a moment in time: they are a memorable experience for guests. Turning the page of my artworks to show to guests is magical! When designing clothes, my work is very precise and methodical. My art practice is the opposite: it captures a fleeting moment in time, with all the joy and feeling of the present! It is also about allowing people to see themselves as others see them: often with kinder eyes! I adore capturing fragments of personality and little details; from a small necklace to a tattoo peeking out from under a sleeve. Fast, gestural strokes don’t capture it all, but I do emphasise what I think may be important to the sitter. My art practice is interactive, it is pure joy to create.”
