Emma was the daughter of John Brownlow, a foundling who had been brought up in the Hospital. He had risen withn the institution to become its director. John Brownlow had written several books about the institution, and a novel ''Hans Sloane'' (1831). The novel was an influence on Charles Dickens's later novel ''Oliver Twist'', and its author is believed to be the model for the character Mr. Brownlow.〔 Dickens was a friend of the Brownlow family.〔Colby, R, ''Fiction with a purpose: major and minor nineteenth-century novels'', Indiana University Press, 1967, p.128.〕
Emma became an artist, producing a series of paintings in the 1850s and 1860s depicting scenes from life at the hospital.〔(BBC Your Paintings )〕 She also painted portraits and genre subjects. She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts. Her most notable painting was ''The Foundling Restored to its Mother'', exhibited at the RA in 1858.〔Wood, Christopher, ''Victorian Panorama'', Faber & Faber, 1990.〕
She met the man she would marry, Donald King, through her involvement with the Hospital choir. King was a professional singer. The couple later moved to New Zealand. After her marriage, she rarely painted, devoting herself to her family.
