I'm Emily Quane. I was born in London, UK and grew up in the Peak District, which is a beautiful, rugged rural area near Manchester. Growing up in the countryside gave me my love of walking and an eye for admiring the landscapes.

I have travelled all over the world and have been fascinated by the art and architecture, the colours and the countryside, and this inspired my developing artistic vision.

I have a bachelor of Fine Art and am a qualified secondary school arts teacher with 10 years teaching experience.

Two years ago I moved to New Zealand and I have been so inspired by the amazing and dramatic landscapes right here on my doorstep. Especially the ever-changing colours of the sea and the sky.

This inspiration has lead me to creating courses for people to explore their artistic journey.
