23 // Emma Talbot spent her early years growing up in Surrey, UK, but now lives in Hertfordshire. She studied Design at West Herts College and Illustration at Brunel University, London. Emma’s design passion is mixed media; she loves creating textures, patterns and collages using a variety of different mediums and incorporating them into her art. Emma is also a magpie and loves to find items to scan in and use in her artwork. She finds using different mediums seems to make her work come alive. Emma’s designs have been sold in shops including Liberty, John Lewis, Fenwick and Next, amongst others. She has worked with and for various companies, including International Greetings, Paperlink, John Crane Ltd and Tigerprint. Her dream commission would be to collaborate with Oliver Jeffers on a children’s book, and she has an ambition to create some fun, contemporary designs for a children’s clothing company and design a range of home decor ceramics. Emma is represented by the agency Cinnamon Joe Studio.

Flowers in a Row
A flower is stylized with a bare minimum of detail, but kept interesting with colours and layers.
Cloud and Bunny Pattern
Here geometrics have been used to illustrate a scene of rabbits, flowers and clouds, all made from simple shapes.
Small Geo Patterns
Emma uses great colour combinations in these simple little patterns. The triangles have a hand-cut feel and the circles are arranged like scales.
Large Geo Pattern
Emma proves that geometrics can be fun with these colourful shapes that echo the natural geometry of flowers and leaves.
