… as a young woman

Every once in a while someone you think you know turns out to be not quite what you thought. My old friends from the Atlanta area who now live in Denver have a daughter/granddaughter that I don’t know nearly as well as I know her mother/grandparents, but from my limited time visiting out there, I assumed she was a nice teenaged girl who wanted a Honda Element, just like every other teenaged girl. It turns out she’s not just that, she’s an artist.

Here she is at work.

Here’s what she was working on. The antlers are cholla cactus bones.

And, just to show she’s at home in other media.

Here’s a self portrait of the artist.

I love the whimsy in a lot of her work. I can’t wait to see what she does next.

  1. Robin — I love her work, too.

    Minnie — I contacted Emily’s mother about it. I may just post a little more of her work here.
