About

Emma Peers is an up-and-coming artist living and working in Leicester. She received an BA (Hons) In Fine Art from De Montfort University. Since graduating Emma now works at the artist studios, StudionAme where she creates her work in a mix of different mediums including a variation of printing techniques, paint, photography, sculpture and digital art. Emma’s work has a strong reoccurring theme of feminism based on her own lived experiences, which are shown through imagery of known objects and artworks juxtaposed with depictions of stereotypical femininity and sexuality. By integrating these topics, Emma creates a visual sense of humour and sarcasm that fully encapsulates her personality.
