EMMA SKEET

I am an artist and artivist, prioritising ethics and the environment in my work since the 1990’s. I create ART4JOY (paintings, prints, handmade upcycled books and clothes for sale to enable me to bring me happiness and peace, as I hope it does for you too. Any profit from the sale of my art enables me to provide ART4CHANGE workshops and resources for schools and community groups using art, science and activism to inspire positive action for the climate and ecological crises. 

I have set up a Community Interest Company, SYSTA (Share Your Story Through Art) giving participants the creative confidence to share hopes for the future, what motivates and inspires us, as well as acknowledging our fears around the climate and ecological crises. Too often people believe they are not creative, so can’t take part in projects like this. But I believe creativity is an approach to how you live your life, an open mindset with positivity and willingness to try something new.

I use different art mediums to celebrate the beauty of the planet and communicate positive messages to motivate people locally and globally.
