Emma Kidd brings intriguing characters to life in her original artworks, goccos, postcards & prints. She has an incredible portfolio and we are thrilled to offer a selection of her works for sale. In many of her pieces, we see portraits of monsters - curious & playful, strange & shy. At other times, we see characters in their environments - different imaginings of the natural world, or darker, more sinister spaces where twisted tales are unfolding.
