Diving Back into Imagination
Emma Lee
Once Upon A Cat-stle is the final work that concludes my practice in Emily Carr. This work represents me and reflecting my emotions since childhood. As I grow older, the imagination I had as a kid is fading away, the reality of the world limiting myself. In my paintings, I tried to rediscover the imagination that I had. The castle represents the princess dream I had when I was young, and now my desire towards quite and peaceful life in the field.
Artist Statement
Using high-value colors and the effects of light and shadow, Emma creates atmospheric scenes that feel curious and peaceful. Her paintings combine a sense of wonder, crafting new environments that push the boundaries of real life. She uses the question, “What if?” to bring imagination and real life into one.
