PORTFOLIO
COMMISSIONS and ILLUSTRATIONS
I started painting by gifting drawings to other people. I found it was a wonderful thing and point of connection to listen to someone's idea or story and turn it into a visual painting. Creating something customized is a collaboration I love to do. Email emyholder@icloud.com to get your very own personalized artwork.
I am also obsessed with books and love to illustrate children's, YA, and adult books. I strive to help authors find and build their world further with the use of visual imagery. It is my dream to transform adult books into one-of-a-kind artworks that bring to life the character's story because we all deserve to see our heroes, villains, and anyone in between, come to life and be a part of our memories.
SCULPTURE
I love figures and anatomy. I believe our bodies are the way we interact and communicate with the world and people around us. It is incredible to draw and express human form and recently I have begun to sculpt the body.
One of my favorite classes to teach is Intro to Figure Drawing!

I think it's important to realize every piece of art starts off looking like the craziest thing in the world, but ends up being something beautiful and unique. Here I will share my ups and downs with you. I hope you learn from them just as much as I do.
