Hi, I’m Emma Conway and I live on the Hibiscus Coast in Auckland, New Zealand with my husband Pete, twins Elsie and George, our dog Lyla and some rescue chickens. Originally from the North West of England, I studied Art at the Gamble Institute and De Montfort University, Leicester. We moved to NZ in 2003, became NZ citizens shortly after and had some little kiwis of our own. 

During lockdown, whilst staring at a large and very boring white wall, we decided to give it some life! We literally drew anything on it that came to mind and then I painted over the lines in black, creating a massive one-of-a-kind mural in what was our kids’ playroom – and is now our main lounge! Friends wanted us to colour it in, and we were kinda tempted, but loved the black and white look. And so Boopino Colouring Posters were born.

My kids are a bit older now, so I have more time to create and also teach at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa. If you would like to discuss working with me, please fill in the contact form and I’ll be in touch ☺

PS: If you're wondering about the Boopino name, it was my nickname at Uni – Betty Boo doing the doo – it was the nineties, lol.
