Since 2016 Emma has contributed sixty-two of her original artworks for the covers of Live Encounters Poetry & Writing, Live Encounters Young Poets & Writers and Live Encounters Books. Her artwork has also featured in Live Encounters Magazine.

Over the years many poets and writers’ names have graced the covers but never that of Emma. So I thought it fitting to acknowledge her contribution to Live Encounters and its international brains trust of poets and writers.

In these uncertain times Art in all its avatars gives us spiritual strength and a meaning to living in a world that appears to be confined within the four walls of our homes.

Perhaps Art is Hope that emerged from Pandora’s box.

Thank you Emma.
