"For my birthday, my partner commissioned a painting of our boy from Emily and she absolutely nailed it. There's not a lot of gifts I look at every day and still absolutely love. It's stunning."

Hi, I'm Emmie

Mischief I'm up to

...and I help people hold space for things they love.

I have been painting professionally since 2019, and in that time I have illustrated picture books, drawn and painted countless fur babies, people and pictures of anything and everything that spark joy.

I am currently based in Gisborne - home of sun and surf - but have sent my art far and wide, both internationally and within New Zealand.
