“I am constantly stunned by the beauty that surrounds us, whether that is a landscape, a child's face at play, or the light bouncing off the water at sunset. My goal is to capture that feeling and express it the only way I know how, by drawing or painting it. Each time I stare at the blank canvas, my mind whirls with activity and the restless energy of creation. The joy for me is in the artistic journey.... the problem solving and losing myself in the process, not always in the finished product.”
Emily grew up in a home that valued creativity. Her father helped start the St. George Art Festival and oversaw all the art programs for the city of St. George. This provided her the opportunity to take many art classes from community artists including cartooning, drawing, painting and ceramic classes. She graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in graphic design. A few years later she went back and earned her Art/English Education degree from Utah Valley University and began teaching English, Creative Writing and Art. She has taught for the past 22 years and although she enjoys her students and teaching, she also loves creating her own art. She loves the vibrancy and fluidity of watercolor but recently has begun painting with oils as well. A member of the Utah Watercolor Association and Oil Painters of Utah, she travels and paints as often as she can.
