Emma is an artist printmaker living and working in Manchester.

Since completing postgraduate studies at Manchester School of Art, gaining an MA in 2019, Emma has exhibited in shows across the UK, with works held in private collections. Based out of Hot Bed Press in Salford, she was accepted as an Associate Member of Manchester Academy of Fine Arts in 2025.

With a focus on dramatisation of the mundane, absence, loss and memory are recurring themes during Emma’s investigations into the elevation of the everyday to the theatrical.

Emma is fascinated by how we process our experiences, however mundane, and how they shape our identity. Through her work she seeks to open a dialogue, speaking to truths of the past and offering sanctuary to new narratives.

Printmaking processes offer a level of tension vital to Emma’s practice, with landscapes forming an integral part of her visual language - symbolic of worlds where memories are both recalled and reinterpreted, each serving as testament to the fluidity of memory and the stories we tell ourselves.

With a passion for theatre, the experience of an audience when viewing performance arts inspires Emma’s research. Her practice explores how, although the body of the viewer may be in one place, the mind is transported to another by the image - one personal to the individual and influenced by their own life experience.

Her work often responds to personal archives and found objects that serve as a physical manifestation of a moment in time – an extension of the ‘self’ now departed.
