CV for Emma Plover
Through creating digital, accessible artwork, I highlight the often overlooked, provoke dialogue, and inspire personal and social change. I pioneer for support for people living with mental health disabilities and those who define as neurodiverse, and am currently supported by DASH Arts.
Alongside my artistic practice, I am also highly IT literate with proficiencies in Adobe’s Premier Pro, Photoshop packages, as well as Microsoft Office.
