Emily Christensen McPhie's paintings convey the duality of swimming in the deep waters of an eternal story and trudging through the messy realities of the everyday. Creativity was considered a virtue in her childhood home at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. where awe and wonder are abundant. Her work is rich with visual expressions from the inner depths of the fathomless human psyche. Viewing Emily's paintings feels like the telling of an ancient fairytale; full of warnings, hauntings, and lessons from nature, relationships, and intuitive knowing. She now resides in the deserts of Arizona.
