Her paintings, often interiors with playing children, testify to a technically very talented painter. As a person Emma was quiet and shy, but audiences loved her painting and Emma Ekwall became a diligently hired portrait painter.
Over the years, Emma fell in love with flowers as a motif and painted fresh, soft floral still lifes.
