From the Heart : For the Soul
Emma is an Atmospheric Artist known for evocative, large-scale canvases infused with nature inspired energy and elemental magic. Using modelling paste, acrylic and touches of gold to weave threads of light and movement, Emma creates vibrant 'Soulscapes' that amplify emotional resonance in therapy rooms, wellbeing spaces and homes. Her art is currently on display at Hugo & Green, Hanningtons Lane Brighton. With upcoming Exhibitions at Horsham Art Fair in October and Steyning Holistic Fair in November.
Painting, writing, and creating for the ones who feel like walking contradictions, wild-hearted, and deeply awake. The ones who’ve been told they’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too inconsistent” - when in truth, they’re just cyclical, complex, and beautifully alive.
My mission is to create spaces - on the canvas, in the studio, and in the soul - where people feel seen in their chaos, empowered by their mess, and reminded that joy, creativity, and meaning are still possible inside the storm.
Art & Soul is a creative concept I lead inviting people into deeper connection with themselves through intuitive art, self-exploration, and joy-led expression. It's about accessing the wisdom of the body, moving emotion through creativity, and cultivating self-acceptance through play, permission, and presence.
In a world that often demands perfection, productivity, and emotional suppression, Art & Soul is a soft, wild rebellion for the messy, honest, and curious. speaking directly to the heart, the soul and nervous system.
Weaving colour, texture, and movement as tools for processing what can’t always be named. Exploring the power of tiny joys - the light that flickers through the cracks. Meeting ourselves exactly as we are, without needing to be fixed or finished.
"You are the art. It is your humanness - your cracks, your contradictions, your rawness - that connects and inspires." - E.W

Meet the Creator
Emma Wakefield is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and creative facilitator whose work lives at the intersection of chaos, creativity, and cyclical self-reclamation. Drawing from her lived experience with PMDD, ADHD, and dynamic health, Emma creates with fierce vulnerability, poetic clarity, and soul-level humour. Her debut memoir Chaos Incarnate offers a raw, rhythmic exploration of what it means to shapeshift emotionally, hormonally, and creatively in a world that demands linear healing.
Emma is the creator of Art & Soul, a concept rooted in the belief that creativity is not just expression - it’s necessity. Through intuitive art-making and embodied exploration, she helps others reconnect with joy, permission, and the wisdom of their inner wildness. Her work has become a soft rebellion against systems that embraces emotional depth and productivity, offering instead a path toward self-compassion, presence, and reclamation.
She is obsessed with plant magic, cowboy boots, emotionally charged playlists, and the smell of fresh coffee. Based in the UK, Emma shares her journey on Instagram @iamemmawakefield, where she blends creative expression, cyclical awareness, and boundary-busting honesty in equal measure.
