Emma is an artist, illustrator and curator, working and living in London. She illustrates real life in watercolour, from food, drinks, animals and swimming, to her beloved Tooting Bec Lido. She also takes regular commissions for pet portraits and personalised lido paintings.

Emma is also the founder and curator of the hugely successful The London Art Sale, formerly the 33 Art Sale, which raises funds for charities whilst supporting the participating artists. To date she has raised over £130k for the Rural Refugee Network, Children on The Edge, South London Cares, The National Youth Arts Trust and most recently her beloved Tooting Bec Lido.

Emma trained in graphic design and spent 10 years working in branding and advertising, before starting to pursue painting and illustration in 2012. After the sell-out success of her first solo show ATLANTIC, inspired by her sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in 1991, she has not looked back. Her second successful solo show JOURNEY was held in 2019 at the Gallery in Delta House Studios.
