Emily was born and raised in San Francisco and has a BA in Fine Art from UCLA School of Arts & Architecture. She currently lives in San Francisco with her family.

Emily's paintings study relationships of color, line, depth, negative space and other qualities of the medium. She experiments with various materials and techniques of paint application. Her work often references the landscape, the human body, everyday objects, or other experiences and observations. Sometimes they seek to recreate a memory or feeling. Emily loves painting, making things, reading, gardening, and long walks.
