About Emily
Emily Handley is a Landscape Painter and Architect who explores the intersection of the built and natural environment one city at a time. After growing up in the Pacific Northwest exploring the outdoors, her interest in architecture led her to live and work in several cities across the USA. Her art and design work has been shown in multiple solo exhibitions and group shows in the United States and Internationally.
Emily's work investigates vernacular architecture, building ornament’s relationship to local culture, flora, and fauna, and the interaction of functional buildings with their agrarian and industrial landscapes. Emily works in plein-air and in the studio via watercolor and drawing. Her collections of artwork allow her to investigate each place through unique themes, with individual works highlighting different scenes and details that speak to a larger narrative.
