Emily is a Utah based artist working from the Paper Moon Studio just outside of Salt Lake City. She incorporates drawings, constellation maps, patterns and other various elements into her acrylic & mixed media paintings. Marrying abstracted skyscapes with illustrative elements, she hopes to infuse her work with a sense of atmosphere and wonder. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Weber State University, she was able to study Renaissance and Contemporary art abroad in Italy in 2008. She continues to explore mixed media work in different capacities with an emphasis on fine art pieces for various art galleries in Salt Lake City, Park City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Brea, CA.
