What is naïve art?
Naïve art is bold, charming, and gloriously free from the rules of formal art training. Think rich colour, flat perspective, storytelling, and a real sense of joy. Emma’s work is inspired by folk art and outsider art traditions — and her paintings are not photo-realistic. They are entirely, unmistakably hers.
Bright, bold colour
Saturated, unmixed tones that sing off the page — nothing wishy-washy here.
Flat, joyful perspective
Traditional 3D rules go out the window, replaced by warmth and character.
Charm over precision
Storytelling and personality take centre stage — every piece has a real soul.
Rich detail throughout
Foreground and background packed with personality — not an empty corner in sight.
Emma’s credentials
While many naïve artists are entirely self-taught, Emma brings a unique edge: a BA (Hons) in Illustration and an MA from Central St Martins, London — one of the world’s most prestigious art schools. She brings trained instincts to an instinctive style.
How it works
Tell Emma everything
Share the recipient’s likes, dislikes, hobbies, job, family, their car, the occasion — whatever makes them them. The more you share, the more personal the piece.
Approve your pencil sketch
Emma creates a pencil sketch for you to review. Nothing moves forward until you’re happy with the composition.
Watch it come to life
Emma creates a brightly coloured, mixed-media piece in her signature naïve style.
Receive it by post, ready to frame
