Emma spent her childhood in the scenic village of Overton, and moved into Whitchurch at the age of 15, where she was already attending Testbourne Community Secondary School. She has always had a great passion for art from a young age, which allowed her to expand when studying at GCSE. The final years of secondary school proved to be a real challenge, yet inspired her a great deal more, building on various techniques and styles. After a pleasing set of GCSE results in 2009, Emma enrolled at Peter Symonds College in Winchester, studying AS levels; Fine Art, Textile Art, Sociology, Law, General studies and Key Skills level 3. She is currently studying hard for numerous exams, spending any free time with friends or doing art. During holidays and some weekends she also participates in a sport called Equestrian Vaulting which sadly she can no longer do frequently due to commitments to college, but is still eager to keep up.
‘Art and Textiles are great at college. I’m constantly learning new skills which allows me to develop my work, not to mention giving me slightly more relaxed periods between the more academic areas of college’
