Emilia Wharfe is a Finnish-English illustrator and animator based in Cornwall. Her work explores folklore, ritual, symbolic objects, and the quiet creative acts woven through everyday life.

Inspired by gardens, seasonal living, nature, and observation, her illustrations often centre around small moments of care, repetition, and transformation. Through mixed media drawing, she creates atmospheric works that sit between storytelling and symbolic observation, balancing softness, humour, and reverence toward the natural world.

Recurring themes in her practice include gardens, animals, harvests, weather, handmade objects, and the rituals found within daily routines. Influenced by folk traditions, printmaking, and animation, her work aims to create calm, emotionally resonant images that feel both playful and reflective.
