Biography

Emily is a course leader and teaches on the Graphic Design BA (Hons) and Illustration and Animation BA (Hons).

Emily Evans is a multi-platform illustrator working prominently in mixed-media collage across both still and moving image. Her practice explores how collage illustration and animation can build unique narratives and shift perspectives, with a strong belief that illustration can live fluidly across print, digital, installation, and beyond. She also often uses archives as a starting point for projects.

Emily has produced work across fashion, music, and textiles, including a shortlisting for the V&A Illustration Awards (Student awards 2017 for her MA) and the Gordon Peter Pickard Travel Award (2018).

In 2017, one of Emily’s projects was shortlisted for the V&A Illustration awards. In 2018, she was awarded the Gordon Peter Pickard Travel Award.
