A little bit about me...

Hi! I'm Emily, I use charcoal powder, graphite, and pencil to create monochrome imagery with layers of depth and fine details that produce realistic depictions of loved ones. 

Graduate showcase

For my graduate showcase, I created a series of portraiture pieces that focused on the importance of emotional reflection, portraying relationships with people in my life who have offered me guidance and instilled me with hope and belief. My practice was greatly influenced by themes of emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth and with this series I intended to ignite a spark of joy within the viewer, contributing to a collective sense of optimism, healing, and embracing the possibility that fostering hope can help us navigate the challenges we face.
