Emma Colbert-Mooring is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in the North West.

Her studio practice, known as 'You Good Studio', focuses on exploring the use of colour and composition to create vibrant abstract work primarily through printmaking, illustration and mural design.

Emma's work is centred around creating a playful dialogue between form, colour, and space to produce energetic and bold designs that are present throughout her practice.

When not in the studio, Emma works at the National Festival of Making leading Digital Marketing and coordinating their work with Education and Emerging Artist programmes. Most recently, Emma has joined the producing team for Art in Manufacturing, the festival’s headline commissioning programme.

Emma also sits on the Youth Advisory Panel for the Crafts Council and is a Curator at Prism Contemporary Gallery.
