Emma lives & paints in a rural corner of Dorset, UK. 

​

Self taught she paints in oils on wood.  Her influences include a childhood devouring ghost stories, English folklore & classic literature, the make-up, flamboyance & creativity of the 80s, Catholic religious imagery, vintage dolls & pop culture icons.  A nostalgic mix that has all found its place her art. 

 

Emma has made a huge amount of big eyed art.  One of her earlier Blythe doll pieces was included in a Fullerton Museum LA show alongside one of her ‘arthrobs’ Margaret Keane.  Emma has painted Sindys, vintage Barbies & Gene Marshall dolls all in various scenarios, with a dark but playful tone, all selling direct to clients worldwide, and is a regular at Blythecon UK.

​

Her current vivid and realistic works are portraits of ethereal women, protagonists in their own stories, combining the beauty of kitsch, with the ghoulish and mysterious.  Playing with light and dark and creepy/cute narratives.
