Artist's Story

I entered the art world as a Graphic Arts student who was frustrated with the limited color pallet. I have since been using advanced programs to replicate the traditional media I love. I've been in education since 2010, and when I'm not teaching my students, I spend it sharing my love of art.

"I paint the light," meaning I use an impressionistic and abstract styles to share the beauty of the world around me. Many of my paintings are electronic. I use a blank scream and mouse to create my works from scratch.

All the best,
Emilie

Common Questions

How long have you been an artist?

I started with Arcane Heart Studios after graduating from Midlands University in Fremont, Nebraska. I’ve been a part of many different shows and charities in the Omaha area. Some of my most memorable shows were the Girlscouts’ ArtVenture, the Visiting Nurse Association’s Art & Soup, and the River Valley Artisans and Craft Market. I've hung my art at the Turtle Shop and the Hudson Gallery at Eppley Airfield.

How do you do your graphic art paintings?

Usually, if it's just an abstract or a landscape painting, I do not plan with pencil and paper. I start my paintings on a blank canvas in my favorite program ArtRage going freehand with the mouse or my bamboo tablet. I paint in layers, so I'm able to make more pinpoint adjustments and bring in custom tools or papers to help me achieve the look I want.

Do you take commissions?

Yes, I take commissions for both private and commercial use. Please reach out to me if you would like more information.
