Emily is a Vancouver based children’s illustrator, watercolour painter, and teller of strange tales. A lifelong fan of trees, birds, and the hidden places of the forest, she writes, illustrates, and binds weird little books to share with friends. Her work is inspired by fairy tales and folklore, with bright colours, magical atmospheres, and plenty of watchful eyes. She's wanted to tell stories her whole life, and now she is doing just that.
