    Where it started:


    I have always been artistic even as a very young child, I was often found with a paint palette and brushes painting patterns. Throughout School I focused mainly on my Art & Design and after gaining A* I knew this was what I wanted to study further. During this time I was very interested in black and white Photography after finding my grandad’s camera. I went to college to study Fine Art Photography with a Printmaking Elective at College. As well as attending College in the day, I would then study A Level Textiles at my old Secondary School as an extra qualification.  From combining the two courses together, I was creating interesting mixed media artwork and imagery. I was creating patterns with interesting elements using natural forms and botanical textures processed using chemicals in the dark room. From floral Cyanotypes in the photography darkroom,  to illustrating, painting and printmaking in the print room, my portfolio was bursting with natural artwork.

I went on to study PRINTED TEXTILES AND SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN at Leeds Arts in Yorkshire (back to my Yorkshire roots)

I Specialise in imagery inspired by natures natural forms and botanical textures. I was printing on wallpapers and fabrics, and working on such large scale really suited my style. I found wallpaper design to be a real fascination and it still is today.

After graduating, one of my wallpaper designs was recognised for its strong illustrative style and texture. Wallpaper 'Feathered Onion' Won a Timorous Beasties Award in 2012 and was exhibited in Imago Gallery in Mayfair London and in one of the rooms in The House Of Lords at a winners reception evening, along with other designers.

I was part of a collective of young students to represent the 'Best Of British Talent' with International Wallpaper Company Graham & Brown. Wallpaper 'Fossil Leaf' was featured in The Telegraph Top 20 Spring Trends and magazines like Country Homes & Interiors and Ideal Home.

Shortly after this I did a placement with John Lewis and designed a range for their Kitchen and Dine which sold well through all stores and online.

I have since worked freelance for a couple of years and also sold and licensed designs to larger outlets and companies overseas.

Now running a small paper products brand under the name Fig and Hue, Emma sells greetings cards wholesale and through her online shop. I have also started licensing patterns to brands who make children’s clothing.

Thanks for reading.
