*Artist · Visual Arts Educator · Writer*

Emma is the creator of **The Yellow Art Book** and an experienced Visual Arts educator with nearly two decades of teaching in international schools across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Since graduating with a **BFA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London in 2006**, Emma has worked across teaching, curriculum development, assessment, resource development and professional learning. Her experience includes **MYP and IB DP Visual Arts**, as well as work as an **IB DP Visual Arts examiner** and professional learning facilitator.

Emma began developing IB Visual Arts curriculum resources in 2022 while finishing the academic year at the **Anglo American International School in Moscow**. What began as a way of supporting her own classroom practice grew into **The Yellow Art Book** — an independent platform for Visual Arts education, resources and professional learning.

She has also led **IB professional learning workshops through InThinking.net**, and non-IB workshops at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, experiences that have shaped her belief that some of the most valuable professional learning begins with the questions teachers are actually asking: *How do I teach this? What does this look like in a Visual Arts classroom? How can I make assessment meaningful? How do I support students while still giving them ownership of their ideas?*

This experience sits at the heart of The Yellow Art Book workshops. They are designed specifically for **MYP Visual Arts educators**, creating space to explore ideas, question practice, share experience and develop practical approaches that can be taken directly back into the classroom.

Emma is also a practising artist, originally trained as a sculptor, whose work now moves between painting, drawing and mixed-media. Her studio practice continues to inform the way she thinks about **making, observation, experimentation, reflection and artistic thinking** — and her teaching continues to influence the way she makes.

**Teaching and making are not separate worlds for Emma. They continually inform one another.**
