about
EMILY

My paintings explore themes of personal growth, presence, relational dynamics, absence, connection, and hope. Viewers always ask, 'Why chairs?' I think chairs are an evocative metaphor for the human experience. I imagine them as figures or emotions in my work; their arrangements and interactions suggest the architecture of intimacy and the space between us. They symbolize the presence of stillness. 

My fascination with this subject evolved during a period of difficult and unsettling personal experiences. It became evident that my artwork was inviting me to sit with my feelings, to be present with myself and the emotions I was experiencing.

 My work utilizes symbolism, whimsical palettes, and patterns to create a thought provoking balance between deep human existentialism and profound joy. The interplay of light and dramatic shadows represent the passage of time, and the inevitable changes in life. My paintings invite you to reflect on the connections, transitions, and universal stories within our shared human experience. 

I’ve spent years studying the how and why behind the brushstroke—earning BFA’s in Painting and Art History and an MA in Art Education—but my real growth and practice happens in the quiet and extraordinary moments of daily life. Based in Albuquerque, I live and work in the balance between being a quiet artist never wanting to leave my studio and the beautiful, messy reality of raising and homeschooling three boys. Thank you for your support and interest in my work, it means the world to me.
