Emma, a native Texan artist with a deep love for nature, draws inspiration from the world around her to create hand-drawn designs that tell meaningful stories. With a background in painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design, she has grown her art practice through a range of mediums, including intricate inked maps, watercolors, illustration, and large-scale painted murals.

Her primary medium is cartography, creating maps that give direction and chart experiences. Emma approaches her work as a cartographer through a storytelling lens to create artwork that highlights a geographic place’s uniqueness, often with a keen attention to the native flora and fauna.
