Hi I’m Emma! I’m a Wellington based artist.
I work for a super fun & creative Wellington business called Iko Iko. Slowly over the years I’ve grown skills through lots of trial, error, & hot glue gun burns.. to now being a some what full time artist who gets to be apart of lots of exciting projects from art markets, painted murals to large scale creative installations around the beautiful city of Pōneke.
