Emily Munk

I am a painter, illustrator, choreographer, and poet. I studied dance in university and relate movement to all of my artworks. I live near the Rocky Mountains in Utah and always find ways to enjoy them - rock climbing, mountain biking, backpacking, etc. I have been inspired by writers like Emerson, Thoreau, Muir and Von Humboldt to get out and appreciate the natural beauty of the world. When I paint after I have sat and taken snapshots in my mind of a particular scene, I think back to not only the colors and textures but how the view made me feel. I often use glazing, paint dripping and stamping in my paintings. These effects get me closer to that gut feeling that nature gives me. I usually end up really, really liking my paintings and hope you do too!
