"There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in" — Leonard Cohen
Emma was born in New York City to European parents and raised by an artist who taught her to see—how light moves, how shadows fall, and how these subtle details shape greater meaning. She has always been drawn to chiaroscuro — the way the masters used darkness not as absence but as weight. The unknown narratives speaking within light / shadow. That early way of observing became the foundation of her creative work today.
She studied Film and Media while playing Division 1 Lacrosse as a scholar athlete, then moved quickly into producing and creative directing for a global agency based in NYC.
After seven years of intense production she quit and began her own creative direction living in Madrid, Spain. That then took her to Biarritz, France, as worked in freelance for photographer, creative direction and production. Her work grew into a personal body of work exhibited in Australia, France, and Spain.She was invited back to Australia to take an artist residency and manage / produce events at an art gallery + photo studio. Emma collaborates with brands, artists, and creatives across photography, motion, film, and creative production. Her work lives in the space between intention and intuition.
