BIOGRAPHY

Emma J Findley is a fine artist, photographer, and art educator whose creative practice spans over 25 years. Working across fine art photography, drawing, and painting, her approach is process-led, valuing observation, material exploration, and reflective enquiry. Her work engages with themes of memory, landscape, and personal history.


Emma holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art from Leeds Beckett University and has worked across a broad range of educational contexts, from early years to higher education and alternative provision. Teaching remains central to her practice, shaping an inclusive, enquiry-led approach to making and learning. Alongside her studio work, Emma has facilitated exhibitions, residencies, and creative programmes, and continues to develop work at the intersection of artist, educator, and community practitioner.
