Emma Lineham, is a London Based Artist with a journey that started in New Zealand and has led her around the world. Passionate and captivated from a young age by female diversity and its depiction on society inspires her to capture this story through her illustrations. Highly eccentric and distinctive women’s fashion is an extreme fascination that Emma has always found inspiration in. A self-taught illustrator, her style has rapidly developed over the years.
After her Illustrations gained her entry into one of New Zealand’s most renown Fashion Design Schools, she was left hungry for more creative freedom and international travel was the next step to develop her skills. Discovering a multicultural aspect driven by woman of the world, she was invited to exhibit her work in the UK, Italy, Germany and Australia with private clients globally commissioning her for live illustrations, large murals and one-off pieces.
Over the last few years, Emma has enjoyed distilling her style into more controversial scenes, her work aims to evoke the viewer to think and engage with the narrative – however they may wish to play it out.
Emma’s work is modern, a figurative art that tells the stories of the world of the 21st century, with its differences, disputes, complexities. The protagonists of Emma's works are women, of every shape, orientation, religion, ethnicity, they are women in their bursting power and strength. Her work is a scream of rebellion from women who want to affirm themselves, with their needs, desires, dreams. Each piece she creates, she differentiates, each with its own story.
The aim is for the viewer to feel involved in the transmitted message, the emotions that are experienced are those of deep understanding, desire for freedom and individual expression, without any limit or obstacle.
