MAC Night Market Application

hi, I’m Emily

I’m an illustrator and mural artist. My work is inspired by people, place and the stories that connect them. I create colourful, uplifting artwork that encourages curiosity, discovery, conversation and a sense of belonging.

Here are some supporting images for my application to the MAC night market.
