“To me, painting is just constantly making mistakes and then trying to fix them.”
Emily Pauls’ paintings focus on creating a sense of atmosphere through seemingly random objects. Placed on a background of intuitive mixed media, together these objects portray a vibe. Text and patterns peek out of layers of paint and pastel in the background further adding to the overall ambiance of each unique piece. In a sense, her goal is to create an impression of personality, a person-less portrait.
Originally from Jackson Hole Wyoming she now resides in Bellingham Washington, where used book stores and coffee reign supreme. She prefers dive bars over craft breweries, and leather jackets rather than raincoats. Breakfast is her favorite meal to go out to.
