CREATE EVOKE INSPIRE
I’m Emma, the artist behind Elf Atelier. I’ve always loved to paint, draw, and create—and that passion led me to study Fine Art Painting at the Kent Institute of Art and Design, followed by a Master’s in the Conservation and Restoration of Fine Art at Northumbria University.
With over 25 years working in creative roles, from illustration to art conservation, I’ve learned how much joy and meaning can be captured in a single image. That’s what inspired me to start Elf Atelier: a small studio where I can turn your pet’s personality or a special memory into something truly personal.
Every piece I create is hand-painted with care, whether custom pet portraits or one-of-a-kind ceramic pet keepsakes. My aim is to make art that tells your story—thoughtful, heartfelt, and made to last.

It was in my role as Manager for a local pottery painting studio in 2015 where I discovered a passion for ceramic painting, especially custom pet portraits commissions and from the amazing results I could achieve using translucent & semi opaque under-glazes. It was then that the idea for
Purfect Painted Pets was created.
