The Artist
So, Allow me to introduce myself.
​
My name is Emma Crim and I am an artist. In high school I tried to do the "sensible" thing and took a technical course in graphic design. It didn't do it for me. Some hard decisions later and I ended up studying fine arts at Virginia Tech. I graduated in may 2019 and soon after moved to our family cattle farm in Summit Point, WV.
​
Many of the pieces you will find on here are oil paintings done on Arches Oil paper. I enjoy working on the slightly textured surface while taped to a hard backing board. It creates a feel I haven't been able to replicate with any canvas or panel to date.
​
You will likely notice that my work has transitioned from a prevalent interest in anatomy to more abstract subjects in the last year or so, but the main continuity is that for me, painting is and always will be a healthy way of processing life and the emotions that come with it.
