Hi my name is Em! I'm an illustrator, writer, and educator from Baltimore, Maryland. I have a BFA in Illustration with a concentration in Book Arts, an MFA in Illustration Practice with an emphasis in Critical Studies, and a Certificate for College Teaching of Art all from Maryland Institute College of Art.

I am a professor of printmaking, design, and illustration, having worked at higher education institutions such as MICA, Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), Youngstown State University, and currently Community College of Baltimore County. In addition to teaching, I work freelance on a variety of projects ranging from publishing to editorial to advertising.

The work you see here is from my deep love for the spiritual and the fantastical. My passion for making comes from an interest in the western historical representations of faith and spiritual culture, finding inspiration in religious iconography, architecture, manuscripts, reliquaries, and stories that span generations and give meaning to mystery.
