Emily is becoming well known for her beautifully constructed woven paintings.

The weaving process creates fabulous optical illusions and patterns, emphasised by her exquisite choice of colours.

Emily also carves paintings. She builds up thick layers of paint, sometimes in varying layers of colours, then carves into the surface allowing the off cuts to dangle in fringes.
