Emma Rarick’s primary focus in her work is self-love, body positivity, and inclusion. Her work captures realistic proportions and imperfections of bodies in a bold way to illuminate the beauty in our unique bodies. Emma has been studying figure drawing since 2017 and art since the day she was born; however, she continues to keep things interesting by challenging herself to create work using both traditional and non-traditional mediums.

Having an open-mind when it comes to material use and conceptual depth of her artwork is important in enabling Emma to know she can be the artist of her dreams despite her sensory limitations. The daily accommodations she must make to feel safe creating in her own body gives her the strength to provide room for everlasting creative innovation.

It is this glass half-full perspective she has on life that pushes her to create art that expresses a need for kindness for all despite our differences. Emma hopes to provide her viewers a look into what a safe place to be themselves, and share their kindness with others, may look like within her work. She paints with aspirations of obtaining a sense of peace and belonging among the world’s beautiful people someday.
