My name is Emma Leek, and I am the creator of 4Violets. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember, which has played a significant role in my life. I began taking painting lessons from a local artist near the beginning of primary school and continued those lessons for roughly ten years. It wasn't until high school that I began branching out with different styles and mediums.

​

For a long time, I knew I wanted a career that revolved around art; I just wasn't sure what career that would be. I initially wanted to pursue animation, but after looking into it, I realized it wasn't for me. I came to terms with not having an art-based career and tried different fields of study ranging from science to history. Ultimately, I found my way back to art and completed my BFA at Kennesaw State University.
