The Artist
Meet Em Currigan.
Em is a graphite artist creating detailed portraits of people from photographs. Her work focuses on capturing character, expression and the small details that make an image feel personal.
Alongside commissioned pieces, Em’s earlier work during her studies explored texture, contrast and more experimental materials, helping to shape the style she now brings to her portraits.
