Hello!

If you’re new here, a very warm welcome to you. I’m Emma, an artist and illustrator, based in rural England and my work is influenced by wildlife, stories and those small but significant, moments of connection with nature.

The Creative Flock is a cosy space where I share my creative journey and a peek behind the scenes of my life. I’m here to offer encouragement, advice and inspiration as you explore your own creative path.
