Emily C. McPhie’s life revolves around family, faith, and art, and her paintings reflect the tenderness and toil of these things. Her art explores motherhood and avenues for gathering strength, beauty and wisdom from life.

Emily was born and raised in Orem, Utah. She graduated with a BFA from Brigham Young University in 2001. Chandler, AZ is now home to Emily, with her marvelous husband Gavin and sweet daughters Cordelia Lavender, Clover Iona, and Ezra Petunia.
