About the artist
Emily Kilham-Heeks is a textile print designer, who loves to experiment with process, scale, colour and composition through collage, to create expressive visuals for quirky outcomes. Her designs are mindfully considered, often influenced by biophilic principles, and the organic textures and forms found within nature. Emily’s practice utilises both hand and digital processes; creating visuals through gestural drawings, mono-printing, and experimentation of various media, digitally manipulated to create playful designs and textured screenprints.
