About Emily

I am a visual artist and Baltimore city resident. I received a BS in Art + Design from Towson University with a concentration in ceramics. Since acquiring said expensive piece of paper, I have been keeping productive in multiple mediums, my favorites being watercolor, ink and polymer clay.

For Emily, age 4

This painting in a recreation of a drawing I made when I was four years old. To be honest, I got the idea from the internet... but I thought it would be a fun challenge.
