Hi there! My name is Emma. I am a multidisciplinary artist from Sudbury, Ontario. I have always had a love for creation, usually my art of choice is music, however in the past several years, I have fallen in love with visual art again. When I was a child, would love walking through local galleries and art exhibitions, seeing the textures and colour, wondering the thoughts and emotions that went through the artist’s mind as they created their beautiful works before me; I am grateful you get to experience creation first hand this evening.
