Emily Williamson was born and raised in Washington State. From an early age she was exposed to art, and began art lessons with a very eccentric mentor named Grace Wagner. Grace stressed the artist’s ability to see rather than replicate. Emily studied with her for twelve years, then studied at Evergreen State College, and has been doing art shows on coffee shop walls ever since. She loves to honor nature in her work. She encourages all people to be creative in some way, whether it is solving questions about the nature of reality, making a cup of coffee, or doodling on a napkin. “Landing on the moon is almost as impressive as a cherry tree blossoming in the spring”
