Emma Long is an accomplished artist, exhibiting regularly in group and solo exhibitions across the Northern Territory. Their passion for creative arts has led them to work as an art educator in secondary schools as well as pursue a Bachelor of Visual Arts, a Certificate in Printmaking and a Graduate Diploma of Education. They are inspired by the fresh, raw beauty of nature and feel most at home in the bush with a brush in hand. Emma lives in Darwin with their husband and four children and continues to work as an illustrator and an art educator. Other books they have illustrated include Diane Lucas and Ben Tyler's Walking in Gagudju Country and Walking the Rock Country in Kakadu.
