About


Emily K. Bucher (née Paul) is a full-time, accredited consultant artist specialising in
the medical and scientific fields. Based in Hove, UK, she founded Human Touch Illustration. Her artistic expertise spans traditional pencil drawings, animations, and digital 3D sculpture, primarily focusing on medicine and science. She has won multiple awards for her 3D modelling, visual design, and 2D animation.

After graduating from the University of Brighton with an honours degree in midwifery in 2015, she practiced as a midwife in hospitals, clinics, and the community.
This background provides her with a unique understanding of patient care and communication, along with a passionate interest in medicine and science. During her midwifery career, she discovered medical illustration and went on to study medical art with the Medical Artists' Education Trust and graphic design at the University of the Arts London.

Human Touch Illustration emerged from her passion to educate people about the human form from a human perspective. Emily aims for her artwork to spark fascination and curiosity in learners, believing that visual communication is essential to achieving this goal.
