Hello! I’m Emily MacKenzie, an illustrator based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I live in a multi-coloured world full of brightly patterned objects, boldly printed fabrics, and exotic papers which fuel my inky fingers and feed my passion for screen printing.

My illustrative work draws from childhood memories, everyday observations, and my vivid imagination. In my mind, bears eat ice cream, seagulls talk and sausage dogs wear t-shirts! I work mainly with ink and watercolours on paper, but also enjoy bringing my characters to life in the form of 3D screen printed and hand-embroidered plushes.

I initially studied Textile Design at Leeds University before going on to study Landscape Architecture at Edinburgh College of Art/Edinburgh University where I achieved my masters in 2014.​

Whilst in my final years of study at university I began to lay the foundations for establishing myself as a freelance designer. I started a blog and began to work on getting my designs known across Edinburgh and beyond; I attended local arts markets, exhibited in galleries and sold my work in selected shops across the UK. Post graduation, I continued my practice from my studio at Edinburgh Contemporary Crafts where I was awarded a place on their Graduate Scheme. During this period I was fortunate to work for many clients including M&S, Eyefix, and Danish fashion brand Bruuns Bazzar.

In January 2016 I moved to London to commence my role as Print Designer and Head of Textiles for Dame Zandra Rhodes. This position allowed me to further develop my skills and to work on some truly unique projects. Most notable of which was the print collaboration with Valentino for their S/S ‘17 collection.​

I now focus solely on my freelance work and continue to develop commercial projects as well as private commissions.

Erin Fraser is an interdisciplinary artist that works primarily in photography, the moving image and installation art. Her practice explores the ephemerality of contemporary life and examines social, political and cultural issues in a purely critical way. By reflecting on these issues she hopes to open up a dialogue with people and to challenge their preconceived views!

I paint watercolours and line and wash paintings mainly of still life, flowers and animals and birds. I also sell a range of products such as calendars, cards, fridge magnets, mugs and tea towels featuring my work. My work has been reproduced by International card companies. I have also exhibited throughout the UK and Spain. More recently I have had work selected for the annual RSW exhibition. Currently I have paintings exhibited at One20 in Dundas Street Edinburgh – also at Porteous and co Hidden Lane Argyll Street Glasgow and J Innes in St Andrews. I take part in the Colony of Artists exhibition every year an event that I was the founder member of. I have also exhibited at the Annual Pittenweem Arts Festival for 17 years.
