I’m Emily, a contemporary artist from Alexander City, AL best known for my encaustic paintings. I create in a variety of mixed media, but the layered, fire-fused surface of encaustic is where my heart truly lives.

I graduated from Auburn University School of Art with a BFA in painting and printmaking and also studied abroad at Glasgow School of Art.

I've exhibited my encaustic paintings professionally since 2002 in the southeastern United States, United Kingdom, Thailand, Japan, and Doha, Qatar. I've also enjoyed teaching encaustic workshops to help others learn the technique since 2005.

Painting is where my heart lives, but it's not my only creative pursuit. I'm also the founder of Boudoir by Emily, where I photograph women through fine art boudoir sessions, and Bay Street Studios, a natural light studio space available to rent in downtown Beaufort.

My daughters, Clover and Loda, and I recently relocated to our favorite place in the states, Beaufort, South Carolina, which has been a dream come true for us.

If a piece of my artwork speaks to you, I'd love to talk about what's possible!
