Hello. I’m Emma.
I’m a graphic designer with a love of illustration and the natural world. Having spent the last 20 years doodling and sketching animals (especially birds) I really focused my practice during 2020 towards illustrating for children.
After graduating, some of my first projects were illustrated LOTE Educational Resources, I now have come full circle. I have always loved working in black and white line which lends itself to colouring books really well. But, I didn’t want to make something that just looks good – I wanted something useful too. So, I added some written information about the animals I was featuring.
And that is how the Educational Colouring Books were born. I am currently drawing and writing busily to expand the range with a whole number of different animals and plants.
I live in Melbourne Australia with my partner and two daughters.
