I was drawing from an early age and it felt like magic. Creating my own worlds with a pencil was like having a magic wand in my hand. The drawings weren’t brilliant but they transported me and hours would pass in this wonderful world where my imagination would flow out of my pencil and onto the paper without a care in the world.

My parents are Irish but moved to England before I was born so I grew up in Oxford and I loved growing up in this amazing city. I now live in the Cotswolds with my husband, our son and daughter, and our dog and cat. I’d love to live by the sea one day and exchange mud for sand but for now you can find me most days with Nellie in my studio or out on our muddy dog walks.

I’ve been commissioned to create illustrations for businesses, charities and organisations including the NHS and Oxford University along with countless private painting and drawing commissions of all subjects and sizes.

If you have any questions, are interested in commissioning an original artwork, fancy some tuition or would like to work with me on a collaboration or project I’d love to hear from you. There are a few ways to get in touch. You can email me directly here: emma@emmacoxart.com or through any of my social media platforms or just fill out the contact form by clicking the button.
