Emilie is an illustrator and maker specializing in wall art, home decor, greeting cards, and hand-painted ornaments. She resides in the land of endless prairies and cotton candy sunsets in South Dakota with her two little boys, a mischievous kitten, and a lovable dog. Inspired by her upbringing on a farm, where her best friends were often cats, Emilie draws creativity from wild nature, sweet animals, childhood nostalgia, vintage treasures, vibrant colors, early morning records, and long bike rides on country roads. Her favorite subjects to illustrate include flowers, plants, and hand-lettered meaningful quotes.
Emilie once worked in a soul-crushing job, dreaming of becoming an artist but doubting her abilities because her style wasn’t realistic. The birth of her children inspired her to pursue her passion, realizing that perfection wasn’t necessary to succeed in art. Juggling her dream with being a stay-at-home mom, she persevered and worked diligently. Today, Emilie fulfills her dream by creating art full-time. Her boundless inspiration proves that even the impossible can become possible with determination and a touch of imagination.
