Skippy Cotton is Emma Mierop: an exceptionally imaginative, self-taught textile and paper-based artist, based in the Northern NJ/NYC area.
Emma began sharing her artwork on social media in 2017 under the moniker “Skippy Cotton”—a name she discovered on a typed piece of vintage ephemera. Quirky, lighthearted, and not-too-serious—it was perfect for her work.
Skippy Cotton is PERFECT for those whole love a handmade, very tactile feel to their holiday decor, achieved by neon threads, gilded metallic accents & lots of vintage circus-inspired whimsy!
