Welcome to my studio.

I'm Emily, a mixed-media artist, stationer, avid book reader, and novelist (stay tuned!). Whether you have found yourself here in search of a greeting card, an original work or simply to scroll a bit, I hope you will leave with the same thing I always come to the studio to find... The Colorful Silence.

“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence. It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly. Everyday I discover more and more beautiful things.”  ~Claude Monet

The natural world calms me to my core. It reminds me to look and see. To breathe through life’s obstacles and losses. To listen for what matters through all the noise. To put down my phone and notice beauty in something as simple as a flower petal, a child's profile, an open window, sunlight bouncing off a leaf. 

When I turn to nature, I feel most alive. And yet, nature is always dying. Always being reborn. It teaches me to do the same. If only I will stop to listen.

I hope my work will call to the paradox in you. That place where life and death are friends, where yes and no enjoy each other’s company, where tears and laughter collide. 

I also hope you will indulge the power of a handwritten note, even a short one. I once received a mysterious postcard that simply read ‘you are loved’. It got me through a very dark season. So though stationary could be considered a trite product, I think it is one of the most powerful tools in the world. The pen truly is mightier than the sword.

With that, I’m glad you’re here. I hope my work inspires you to put down your devices, kick off your shoes and take a barefoot stroll through the grass. May we ever and always stare steadily up at the spacious sky in speechless wonder. 

“People must first of all learn to look at nature, only then may they see and understand.” ~Claude Monet

Xo, 

Emily
