Introduction

I am Emily, a 20 year old

multimedia design student

and artist based in

Copenhagen. Art has been

my passion for as long as I

can remember. Art is

my way of expressing

myself and capturing

the world as I see it.



Creating is like therapy

to me, it soothes and

relaxes me and I can't

imagine a life without

art. Each piece I create

reflects a part of me.

I work with both traditional

and digita mediums and I

mainly paint with acrylic

paints and occassionally

watercolors.

On smaller works on paper I

tend to use pencils, colored

pencils and markers. I enjoy

mixing mediums too and .

experimenting



I create a variety of works.

Animations, sketches,

stopmotions, drawings,

paintings and scrapbooking.

What inspires me

Art is my passion and the

world is my inspiration

It's not about the result but

the process.

I create because I feel like it

is my purpose. I have drawn

ever since I could hold a

pencil in my hand.

If I take too long of a break

from art, it feels weird and

wrong. No matter how

frustrated I can get

sometimes I always return

to art after max a few

months. Every brushstroke

feels right, like home.
