EMILY EDMUNDS

Emily Brooks Edmunds, a visionary artisan, fearlessly navigates the realm of steel with her artistic endeavors. Residing in picturesque Salt Lake City, Utah, she is an alumna of the esteemed University of Utah, having earned a degree in Business Administration. Following a successful stint as the proprietor of a small business venture and a tenure in the realm of technology, Emily serendipitously rediscovered her enduring passion for the world of art.

Having initially established a cooperative gallery that flourished for 5 years, Emily transitioned gracefully into the vibrant domain of art festivals. Her itinerant lifestyle sees her traversing the globe for a staggering 85% of the year, enchanting audiences at over 45 shows annually.

Commencing her artistic journey with a focus on Illustration and Metal Smithing, Emily's current body of work beautifully mirrors her profound affection for steel and the captivating allure of red rock landscapes. Through a harmonious fusion of oxidized metal and her distinctive painting techniques, she conjures mesmerizing abstract compositions imbued with organic earth tones and a retro-vintage aesthetic characterized by luscious golden hues, natural textures, and intricate layers of depth.

Her portfolio showcases a diverse range of pieces, from abstracts reminiscent of the iconic Rothko style to vintage creations exuding a weathered charm through the incorporation of oxidized metals and reclaimed hardware. Embracing a myriad of texturing methods, layering techniques, and meticulous drying processes, Emily affectionately dubs her creations as "Perfectly Imperfect," each piece bearing the indelible marks of prolonged oxidation that yield tactile landscapes of texture within the metal, rendering every artwork a singular and unparalleled masterpiece.
