About me

Hello! I'm so pleased you have visited my website. I am an artist who specialises in graphite pencil portraits. 

Art has always been part of my life — I sold my first piece while still at school — but my path here has been unconventional. After studying Modern History at the University of Oxford, I spent 18 years as a charity lawyer at a top City law firm.

It was only when I was on maternity leave that I picked up art again, drawing pictures of my daughters. When other parents asked if they could commission me to draw their own children, I realised I had the makings of a small business.

Having returned to the long hours of city law, I realised I would always regret it if I didn't take a huge risk and give it all up for the chance to follow my first passion and calling. 

And so I did! I now have the enormous privilege of running my own art business - Emma Flower Art - while raising my three little girls.

It would be an honour to draw for you. Please do get in touch!
