Emily Proud is a San Francisco-based artist best known for her colorful and geometric paintings. Her work examines the traits of their mediums using color, shape, contrast, line, transparency, masking, and layering to render her pared-down subjects. Over time, Emily has created a visual language culled from her everyday surroundings and objects that she revisits and reworks over and over again. Born and raised in San Francisco, she currently lives and works in the Richmond neighborhood. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA, School of the Arts and Architecture.
