Emily Proud is a San Francisco-based artist best known for her watercolor paintings. Her work examines the traits of their medium using color, shape, transparency, and negative space to render her pared-down subjects. Over time, Emily has developed a visual language collected from her everyday surroundings and experiences that she revisits and reworks 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 holds a B.A. in Art from UCLA, School of the Arts and Architecture.
