Emma lives in Hunworth North Norfolk where she works as a glass painter. 

Her work is carried by Red Dot Gallery in Holt. http://www.thereddotgallery.com/

After graduating from Roehampton University in 1999 with a 2:1 degree in Art for the Community, Emma began working for herself designing and making stained glass church windows and stained glass Victorian front door windows to commission from her London studio.  Furthering her training in 2008 at top stained glass studios as part of her Award for Excellence with the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass.  Commissions included a window in memory of Churchill in Bladon in Oxfordshire. The window was unveiled in 2014 by Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.  

In 2019 Emma moved to Norfolk and started making fine art glass paintings to sell in galleries and shows.  She still sometimes works to commission making stained glass windows.  And she draws.  And she teaches.
