Emily Robison | Studio 316 | January & June Studio
MIXED MEDIA | TEXTILE | PAINTING
Emily Robison's practice combines her love for painting and textile work. Emily's paintings utilize traditional techniques on canvas and paper using acrylic, watercolor, and gouache paints. Her quilts are machine pieced and hand sewn as art pieces, making them true labors of love. Emily's body of work often explores themes of motherhood and familial relationships, allowing even deeply personal pieces to resonate with her wider audience.
Every piece I make is a memoir. I’m deeply inspired by my own personal history — the people who have come before me, the people and places that birthed them and made them who they are, and how pieces of those collected experiences shaped me and will eventually shape my children. More than any physical place, it is these people and the memories I’ve had with them that shape my sense of “home”. It is the ideas, the likes and dislikes, the ways of being that we share (or very decidedly do not share) that make up the roots that tack me down to Earth.
