Hi, I’m Emma.

I am a visual storyteller, illustrator, artist, teacher and author. I help brands and publishers bring ideas to life through thoughtful hand painted illustrations, specialising in children’s book illustration, licensing and greetings cards. I’ve also written several best selling how to paint books, and taught tens of thousands of students to paint in person and online. All my illustrations are hand painted using gouache, pastels and coloured pencils from my garden studio in East Anglia, England.

Selected Clients

Working with Me

I’ve been working as professional illustrator for nearly two decades, and in that time I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with clients from around the world, helping them bring their ideas to life and create beautiful things together. I’ve worked across publishing, licensing, packaging design and editorial, creating illustrations for everything from washing tape to chocolate brownies. Nothing is more exciting to me than getting a brief from a client in my inbox, and the spark of inspiration that it brings. Working collaboratively with a client to bring their vision to life is one of my favourite things about being an illustrator. I love working with good people to make beautiful things.
