About This Image
Hope
by Emma Burns
Emma Burns is a science illustrator who uses traditional and digital media to create images that depict a story or convey meaning with a single glance. A passionate interest in both biology and the arts led her to a combination of the two professions, wherein she creates artwork that reflects the scientific realm. Along with her lifelong interest in art, Emma earned a degree in Biology from the University of York. Inspired by the knowledge she gained, she set sail for California, where she took a graduate program in Science Illustration. She is fascinated by the natural world, and flora and fauna are commonly found in her illustrations. Emma feels that it is important to use art to depict global health issues and articulate them in a way that draws the attention of the general public.
