Emma Lopes is an artist and illustrator, born in Scotland and brought up in the rolling hills of Somerset, UK. Spending time in wild places is her favourite pastime and mother nature is her muse. A core belief which filters into every aspect of her work is that all life is interconnected.

Working in watercolour, gouache, collage, and sometimes even marine debris, she uses detail, pattern and colour to focus our attention on the vibrancy and wonder of nature. Her art is a form of activism through celebration of a world we must fight to protect. Emma now lives on the coast of Portugal, where she makes paintings and collaborates on projects which communicate her passions.

Emma has collaborated with a variety of nature-centred organisations and NGOs, using her art to amplify their message. She also takes commissions for paintings and can create a design to be places on the surface of an ecologically produced object.

Workshops/classes can be arranged online or locally in Portugal.
