About

Amber Valravn is the otherworldly counterpart of the artist Emma Creighton-Offord (who we talk about below)...
Her adventures inhabit a space between the magical world and our own, like dreams, or the imagination of a child. 
Studying magical creatures and the pocket worlds that let them live around us, Amber Valravn brings magic to life in sketches, paintings. Many of Amber's discovered creatures dwell in verdant forests, deep lochs, misty moors and ruined castles. Mischievous tricksters, serene magical beasts and strangely familiar creatures with elements of our own fauna have all been documented by the artist and explorer.

Working creatively through their character, Amber Valravn, Emmie is a Scottish artist whose work is influenced by the natural world and folklore.
Emmie enjoys taking commissions; exploring new takes on their previous work, collaborating with the customer to create new fantastical creatures, or bringing their own characters to life.
Emmie's creative pursuits also extend to creating costumes, puppets, masks, props and she can be found trying their hand at most any craft.

Ourside of creative endeavours, Emmie enjoys exploring castles and forests with husband Danov and three sons. Emmie also loves boardgames, folk metal music, anime, and foreign language romantic dramas and is a self confessed nerd.

Emmie's puppets and costumes have been seen in several festivals, which they have performed in, including both Beltane and Samhuinn Fire Festivals as part of the Beltane Fire Society. Emmie helped design and make a giant Kelpie puppet for Beltane 2019.
They also created the mascot Bruce for Pulse of the Place a Youth Samba Band which her eldest son is part of.  Emmie has puppeteered Bruce at a number of events including Edinburgh Carnival and the Torchlight Procession, part of Edinburgh's Hogmanay.
