Being a classically-trained fine artist is at the core of how I self-identify. In elementary school, I began my fine art training at Pratt Institute's Saturday Art School and never looked back. I chose my middle school because of their phenomenal art program, went to LaGuardia High School to study art and then landed at Fashion Institute of Technology to study fashion design more comprehensively. After earning my undergraduate and graduate degrees in leadership, I returned to Pratt Institute to complete their Fine Arts certificate program. I have the ability to freehand sketch, paint in various mediums, sculpt in marble, work with ceramic, design, illustrate, do printmaking and create mixed-media pieces. You can shop my art at empressbyemicia.com.

DESIGN/ILLUSTRATION

I have adored illustrating since I was a young girl. I also love designing. Fashion and graphic design top my list of favorites.

FINE ARTS

Fine arts is where my journey began and still sets my standard for how I view visual expression. I work in both traditional and digital mediums.

COMMISSIONS

Some of the most meaningful work I have done as an artist was in direct service to others, such as logos, t-shirts and other projects.

WATCH ME DRAW

When I was still a young artist, one of my favorite things to do was to hover over the shoulder of my artistic friends as they drew. I am still fascinated by watching artists create and learning more about their studio practice. For those of you who share that curiosity, or just wish to see how it all comes together, here is an illustration I made for a greeting card commission with L.A. Ribbon. It's quick, but I hope that you enjoy it and that it inspires you to create also.
