"Our lives at times seem a study in contrast...love & hate, birth & death, right & wrong...everything seen in absolutes of black and white. Too often we are not aware that it is the shades of grey that add depth and meaning to the starkness of those extremes." - Ansel Adams
About Info
Originating from County Durham, Emma now lives in the West of Scotland where she draws inspiration from the abundance of life in that part of the world. Her light hearted pen and ink drawings seem to have a unique darkness to them, in which she uses shading to create depth and texture to bring her pieces to life. The outcome is a unique blend of precise shading on free flowing illustration that results in a piece that captivates the attention of the viewer.
A collection of prints and original illustrations are available. For bespoke pieces please get in touch for details.

Pen and Ink
Artist Statement
Inspiration often comes from time and space rather than conceptualised action, nature has a habit of being random and often very amusing. Like a rabbit hunting dog finding a deer, inspiration can be staring you straight in the face, or sometimes needs to be grabbed with both hands as it comes yelping past at high speed. Using pen and ink to create depth and texture I invent mythical landscapes established in the everyday.
