Drawn to animals and the human face, she works with a clean, elegant, and precise realism, focusing on subtle expression and the quiet individuality of her subjects. Emma’s portrait work is deeply personal: a response to emotion and a pull toward the canvas. Through painting, she engages in retrospective introspection, examining memory and past feeling through careful, deliberate mark-making. 

In contrast, her graphic and nature-focused pieces arise from her conservation work, reflecting a commitment to creating refined, timeless imagery that celebrates and advocates for the protection of indigenous species. Together, these threads form her artistic voice: intentional, contemplative, and grounded equally in personal expression and a deep respect for the living world.
