Born and raised in Cornwall on the Fowey Estuary, Emily moved to London to study Graphic Design and Illustration at London College of Communication. She now lives in London permanently and operates out of her studio in Chiswick.
A darkly romantic element, evocative of the Golden Era of children’s literature is woven into the fabric of her paintings and designs, with clear influences from artists that have inspired her style (Gorey, Dulac, Rackham) apparent in each work. She amalgamates this influence with her own light-touch and irreverent humour.
Emily has worked for companies such as Hitachi, Godiva Chocolatiers, Alexander McQueen, The Guardian, The Times, John Lewis, The National Trust, the Roald Dahl estate and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity. Emily's skillset stretches from book illustrations to painted interiors.
