As a child she would wander her family’s wildflower prairie and press Queen Annes Lace flowers against her cheeks, pretending they were powder brushes. Memories of how it felt to be that child hold firm in her daily life, lending inspiration to her hand-painted works.
Emily’s pattern driven work reflects her background in textile design. Her drawings and gouache paintings have been applied to products like books, bedding, clothing, furniture, fabric, dishes, rugs, toys and wallpaper.
She lives and works from her studio in the Hudson Valley, just north of NYC.
