Emily is a self-taught artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina. She commenced her artistic practice at age 3 when she could just hold a paintbrush, but it wasn’t until 2016 that she decided to pursue her dream of being a professional artist and opened her own studio.

Emily’s abstract compositions are inspired by the need to express basic human emotion without word. Color relationships, bold hues, interesting shapes, gestural lines, and negative space abound in her work.  The materials used in her art include acrylic, gouache, soft pastel, graphite, oil and resin.  She searches to find balance and harmony, creating beautiful expressionist art that is typically characterized by vibrant use of color and expressive strokes. 

Emily achieves her artistic calling by using art to communicate a range of emotions creating a unique viewer experience.
