Emily Blaschke
Emily Blaschke is a sustainable artist who transforms discarded materials into vibrant, mixed-media art. She sources from swap shops and thrift stores, using expired nail polish and house paint for her paintings. A natural bricoleur, she explores texture, color, and collage in her work, often featuring American icons and political themes. Her art blurs the lines between painting and sculpture, springing into three-dimensional forms. Blaschke’s California upbringing and UC Berkeley training inform her flamboyant style, while her decade in Maine influences her quilt-like patterns. Her pieces unite diverse influences, creating visceral and thought-provoking images from previously unwanted materials.
