Finding color in nature is the foundation of Emily Donovan's work. She expertly draws from the landscape and utilizes traditional natural pigment sources found in plants and insects. While she identifies primarily as a painter, her process seamlessly integrates concepts from traditional craft, printmaking, and fiber art, emphasizing their power to present and capture natural pigments.

STUDIO TIME and CLAsses

Emily’s artwork is created in Minneapolis but, her art practice travels to many places to source plant materials (and insect) for color.. From spring until fall, much of her time is allotted to growing and foraging. This allows for discovery about the landscape and seasonal change as well as learning more about plants. Emily teaches her process at the different art centers nationally and also at her studio. To learn more about classes click here!
