figurative work exploring

vulnerability, memory

and emotional aftermath

So Much More Than a Pretty Face

An ongoing series of monochrome portrait studies exploring femininity, projection, vulnerability and the women who exist within public memory.

Collaborative Projects

Alongside my personal practice, I collaborate with environmental organisations and community initiatives to create visual storytelling, illustration and conservation-focused projects.

Emma Radford is a Bay of Plenty artist working across figurative art, portraiture and conservation storytelling through oil, watercolour and charcoal.

Her work explores vulnerability, perception, protection and emotional residue through portraiture and observation.
