About Emma

Born in Jersey, I have been creating art since I was a teenager. Having lived in South Africa working at an orphanage, I was very inspired to capture the lives and likeness of the people and places around me.

Now based back on the Island and UK, I paint from life on many subjects including portraiture, landscapes, still lives and illustrations.
