Emma’s love for the Arts became apparent throughout her years of school when she enthusiastically studied art, music, and language, starting with graphite realism portraits as a basis for art, venturing into other mediums to broaden her skills. Emma learned to play the clarinet, oboe, saxophone, and trumpet, specializing in the oboe for music and composition. Emma cares for her two birds at home and is a passionate advocate for parrot welfare and conservation. She is also an equestrian and enjoys the challenge of working with difficult horses.
