Hi, I'm Emma

A freelance illustrator and collage artist who makes captivating pictures entirely from paper!

My work is bold and playful celebrating the joy of childhood and simple moments of life.

Why do I love
collage?

It allows me to use my hands in a process that is intuitive and playful.


I love it's flat graphic quality. I aim for simplicity, less is always more.

Scissors allow me to cut interesting forms I could never draw.

​
The variety of colours and textures found in handpainted and found papers is endless!

What's my
background?

I completed a Bachelor of Design with a focus on graphic and textile design. Immediately after graduating I started working for a textile company designing beach towels. It was there that I discovered I loved creating designs for kids. This passion has continued until today.

 

I am inspired by childrens art, Eric Carle, outsider art, and Paul Klee, to name a few.
 

What can I create
for you?

My work has a unique and bold style that’s ideal for children’s products such as stationary, greetings cards, clothing or textiles.

I create endearing characters suitable for board books and younger readers.

My graphic style would also look great in magazines or on packaging and marketing content.
