About Me

I am a visual artist who works across a range of media, originally crochet and textile but more recently in sculpture, installation and performance. I have a sensory approach to connecting to materials, most of them domestic recycled waste.

I am very interested in experimentation and cross collaborations with artists from other disciplines and also outside of the field of the arts.

Across the years, my practice has delved into the visual and metaphorical links between neuroscience and crochet, the cracking and transformations of womanhood after the menopause and more recently the opening and reconnecting to nature.

Hello I’m Emma and I’m a Graphic Recorder and Illustrator. I create hand drawn visuals to capture content and tell stories – it’s my job to visualise your content so people love it, remember it, and keep coming back to it. As a Graphic Recorder I draw live at events and meetings to capture the key ideas and outcomes. As an Illustrator I create hand drawn digital images to tell stories and explain complex information. My work is, colourful, fun and creative. It starts conversations and helps connect ideas and people. It’s mind-catching and memorable. It’s eye-catching, printable and easily shareable.
