HI, I'M EMMA!

I'm so happy you're here!

I'm an artist, designer, and maker with a deep appreciation for moss on rocks, lichen in the forest, the beauty of the Black Hills, and a well-curated Pinterest board.

Nature's intricate textures and patterns endlessly inspire me, and I channel this inspiration into every piece of art I create. I love exploring mark-making, mixed media, acrylic, and watercolor, finding joy in layering paint, graphite, collage, and unexpected marks to produce unique mixed media artwork.

Born and raised in Scotland, I made my way 'across the pond' in 2009 to Rapid City, South Dakota, where I currently live with my husband and son. Graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a BA (Honors) in Design for Textiles set me on a creative journey, bringing me full circle back to surface pattern design after years of experimenting with various mediums.
​
In all my art, I relish the feeling of never fully having control over what I am creating and love getting lost in the process.
