Artwork Description

Lifeless black cowboy boots jut out of a rolled up Persian carpet. Nearby, a feminine figure in a leopard print coat sits inside a 1970 Dodge Charger.

This work explores the allure, peril and general ‘badassery’ of the Wild West.

Emily’s mixed-media landscapes are fictional, not capturing a place or region, but rather inspired by iconic childhood cartoons, spaghetti westerns, and the wild west that exists within all of us.

To me, the beautiful yet extremely dangerous nature of desert landscapes and the stories set there reflect this alluring and perilous part inside of us. A part that many people keep hidden and unexplored. My art is a tribute to the naughty streak - the wild west - within us all.

My landscapes have been described as naive Western pop poster-art.
