About the artist...
As a runner, I spend a lot of time in the mountains and forests, where I reset my nervous system and focus on the flashes of color that shape the landscape around me.
When I start a painting, I build up layers of color. This accumulation reflects how I process emotion— some colors are buried, others remain visible, but the layers are always present and thoughts become visual.
These layers eventually depict the shifting boundaries between space and place, “Space” is unfamiliar, while “place” is groundedness and connection. As I establish a connection to my surroundings, it becomes “place”, transforming a geological location into a meaningful environment marked by an emotional bond.
Born in Portland, Maine, in 1978, Emily Thomas MaHarry earned her BFA in printmaking from Colby-Sawyer College in 2001. In 2008, during the recession, she lost her position as an in-house designer at a landscape architecture firm in Portland, Maine, and relocated to California. She began painting professionally in 2020, served as the artist-in-residence at the George Anderson Gallery (2023–2024), and has participated in various group exhibitions. She is currently based in Ojai, California.
