Emily Proud is a San Francisco-based artist best known for her watercolor paintings. Her work examines the traits of their medium using bleeding colors, transparent layers, and negative space to render her pared-down subjects. Over time, Emily has developed a visual language that she revisits over and over again. Her practice is rooted in experimentation, repetition and play. Born and raised in San Francisco, she currently lives and works in the Richmond neighborhood. She has a B.A. in Art from UCLA.
