I left school and continued on to study Textile Design and graduated in 2000.\nMy interests in abstract expressionism drove me into a career painting abstract art before I started a small business making personalised baby blankets by drawing pictures with the needle of my sewing machine.\n\nAfter 20 years of painting and sewing, I felt a calling, bringing me back to my designing roots and so I began to put together my first repeat patterns and collections. I haven\u2019t looked back since.\n\nMy work is inspired by the wonders of nature. I love animals and wildlife, forests and meadows. I love to meditate and absorb the beauty of the world and the richness and clarity it brings. \n\nForm, colour and texture, naive, whimsical designs inspired by nature, would best describe my style and expression.\n\nIf you are interested in working freelance or would like to license my designs, I would be happy to hear from you.\n\nEmma \n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"62\" src=\"https:\/\/mediumseagreen-dragonfly-487589.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6.jpeg\" alt=\"Emma with her horse\" class=\"wp-image-62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/744653C3-9C76-43F2-B664-8BB75B59E3F6-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/mediumseagreen-dragonfly-487589.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BFE02123-E772-4268-ABB6-6446BF9B6ED9.jpeg\" alt=\"An abstract painting in black, red, pink and cream\" class=\"wp-image-292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BFE02123-E772-4268-ABB6-6446BF9B6ED9.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BFE02123-E772-4268-ABB6-6446BF9B6ED9-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BFE02123-E772-4268-ABB6-6446BF9B6ED9-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BFE02123-E772-4268-ABB6-6446BF9B6ED9-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/mediumseagreen-dragonfly-487589.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"A close up of a house embroidery\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2DE3E0C0-B332-41C2-AE40-14BF020743FF-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"738\" data-id=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/mediumseagreen-dragonfly-487589.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/0BEFE431-35A9-4B40-9327-53286A6E37DF.jpeg\" alt=\"A photograph of Emma\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/0BEFE431-35A9-4B40-9327-53286A6E37DF.jpeg 737w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/0BEFE431-35A9-4B40-9327-53286A6E37DF-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loveemmadesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/0BEFE431-35A9-4B40-9327-53286A6E37DF-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Emma Travis and I am an artist, textile and surface pattern designer based in Manchester, UK.
