Emma Forsberg

Creativity is personal and also universal, and I always encourage everyone around me to create. The tendency to make things is one of the best features of humanity. Not necessarily art... it could be cooking and plating beautifully, or curating spaces, or making music. For me, ever since I was young, my outlet has always been visual - using colour and creating designs.

Anything can inspire me. I take photographs all the time of everything I see: china patterns, pottery, scenes around me, extreme close-ups of flowers. I like painting the fabric of tablecloths because I feel like it's something in the background that could be easily overlooked, but the pattern itself holds interesting symbolism.

My persona is incredibly talkative and goofy, and I joke so much you'd wonder how I ever get anything done. But I am crazy-productive and constantly making things, and the art I make is very much infused with my humour and personality. It's kinda loud and feminine, much like me.
