Emily’s journey as an artist started when she was only 3. She was diagnosed with leukemia at that age and even after several years of treatments, her cancer returned when she was 7. She underwent a successful life-saving cord blood stem cell transplant but suffered complications resulting in permanent and progressive neurological damage. While in and out of hospitals, she spent time drawing and doing jigsaw puzzles (still one of her favorite pastimes) because it made her happy. Despite many setbacks and obstacles over the years, her love for drawing and creating cheerful prints has continued to grow. The themes of her art are positivity, hope, whimsy, and imagination. Emily likes to create drawings with bright colors that bring joyful and happy thoughts.
