About

Emily King (BA Hons)
I first left university with a degree in Textile Design under my belt expecting to find myself readily employable in the industry with the relevant vocational qualification. However, the textile industry was in a recession and jobs were scarce. Although my natural talents lay in drawing, painting and designing with raw materials I had acquired skills in CAD (Computer Aided Design) that I felt could be put to good use. Web design happened to present itself when I worked for a small pensions company, allowing me to put my creative eye and computer skills together. A short time later I found myself helping some colleagues to design a face for their upcoming social networking site, Friends Reunited. This, as you no doubt know, turned out to be a huge success and I have been working as a freelance web designer ever since, operating under the name 'Sitesorted'.

Without wanting to lose touch with art in it's more raw form I haven't been able to stay away from the paint brush or pencil, taking a break from the computer screen and expressing my creativity on paper or canvas. I particularly enjoy working with acrylics on highly textured surfaces or canvases.

I am currently selling work on Etsy. Please feel free to browse my gallery of paintings and drop me a line if you have any queries.
