Emily Lavalier
Emily is a self-taught collage artist from Minneapolis, MN. Her unique style of "high-density" collage begins with a hand-drawn sketch on hard book board or canvas panel, which is then added to with layers of paper cut from recycled books and magazines. The final distinguishing feature in Emily's work are additions of textured embellishments- such as string, beads, tissue paper and splashes of paint- that give the originals a whimsical feel and a detailed finish, making viewers look at them over and over again. Emily draws inspiration from extensive travel and working with underprivileged communities- and hopes to create artwork that is easy to appreciate and accessible to all.

Each individual path we cross has a shape as complex as our own. Our environments are often what shape these paths. As an artist, my goal is to bring awareness to this concept. My art often represents the perpetual history a subject has and how it exists within its environment.
I am in an exploratory stage in both medium and style, with constant being the subject matter. I tend to gravitate towards photography and watercolor; although, I try and appreciate most mediums.

Art has always been a part of my life. My favorite medium is oil. I love starting new paintings and discovering where they will go. I hope to have a career in the arts after high school and college. I am sharing my art with my friends and working on different projects all the time with them.
