HOPE EMILY

about

Hope is an interdisciplinary artist from Airdrie, Alberta. She has always harbored an interest in art and has been creating work from an early age. Her practice spans a variety of mediums but she has been primarily working with acrylic paint for the past few years.

Inspired by Impressionalism and Surrealism, her work explores themes of memory, landscape, body, and dreams. She is interested in exploring spaces between reality and fiction using horror imagery contrasted by bright and vivid colour.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries in both Calgary and Victoria, and in 2022 she curated and exhibit of emerging artists for the Vernon Public Art Gallery. She graduated from University of Victoria with her BFA in Visual Arts in 2024.
