About the Artist:

Emma

After I began painting at the age of 13, my whole life has centered around art. In 2010, I graduated from Brooks Institute with a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Journalism. I moved to New Orleans, LA and joined a team of artists at Painting with a Twist where I instructed art lessons and managed the studio. In 2015, I made another life change and moved to Salt Lake City, UT and went back to school to earn a degree in Social Science Composite. I now teach history to high schoolers.



My usual medium is oil, but I love exploring different types of paint and craft projects. I draw inspiration from everything around me; images in the newspaper, flowers on the ground, people I see on the streets. Throughout my travels, I photograph my memories so I can bring them home and recreate them on canvas.
