- Introduce yourself
Hi, I’m Emma, an independent artist , painter and illustrator. Based in Manchester, specialising in window art, impactful murals, and vibrant painting collections that spark conversations. My work is all about energy, positivity, and connection—whether it’s through playful, colourful abstract designs or pieces that reflect the heart of a community.
With a bold and lively style, I aim to capture attention while inspiring deeper reflection. Each piece I create has a story, and my goal is to bring those stories to life in a way that moves people emotionally and spiritually. Using a mix of acrylics, sprays, Posca pens, inks, and oil pastels.
I’m passionate about the power of art to uplift and empower. My work celebrates culture, community, and the joy of human connection—values I hold close both as an artist and as a person. Originally from Leeds, I moved to Manchester to study fashion at Manchester Metropolitan University, and it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this vibrant city. Now, as a proud Mancunian, much of my work is inspired by Manchester’s energy and its diverse, creative spirit.
