Emily Church

Emily Church is a New York-based multi-disciplinary artist and curator working in the mediums of painting, drawing, book making, and poetry. Her work takes recognizable experiences—particularly of nature within the urban environment—and transforms them into poetic events. Illuminations, a series of colored pencil drawings, makes reference to illuminated manuscripts and draws inspiration from quotidian experiences of motherhood, urban life, and nature from the perspective of a contemplative observer. Church holds a BFA in sculpture from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA in painting from the New York Studio School and has attended artist residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, France, the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT, and Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY. Her first chapbook of poetry, Entangled, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2024. Her visual art can be found on her website, emilychurchart.com, and on Instagram @emilychurchart.
