Her teacher writes: Emma is a talented young artist who excels in precisely detailed and realistic renderings, such as this portrait painted in oils. She is a risk-taker in learning new art processes. Most recently she has been exploring a variety of printmaking techniques. She uses her art as a stress reliever from her busy academic load in the IB diploma program. Her many hours of drawing are reflected in her refined and exacting style.
