About the Artist:

Emily G. Stilwell is an artist, animator, and artisan.

”Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.”

Emily’s style, medium, and choice of creative outlet can change day to day. She has dabbled in oil painting, acrylic painting, sculpture, crochet, sewing, jewelry making, and more. However, her go-to mediums are gouache and digital art illustration.

Emily gets a lot of her inspiration from movies, both live action and animated, but is particularly inspired by Studio Ghibli films for their lusciously painted backgrounds.

Emily went to the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Film & Animation from the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, with a 2D Animation Focus.

Emily enjoys using technology to imbue her works with little bits of magic, incorporating 2D Animation into “Augmented Reality” pieces.

Emily moved to Central Virginia from Western New York in 2018 with her now-fiancé. They have a dog named Théoden and 2 Cats (Luna & Gwen).
