Emily Harrison’s raucous paintings and sculptures create a visual landscape informed by personal experiences, western folklore and symbolic imagery. Her upbringing on the Canadian West Coast, along with studies in anthropology, art history, and religion, inform the motifs and mythic undertones that surface in her works.
Holding a BFA from OCAD University (Toronto) and a BA from Vancouver Island University, Harrison has exhibited in solo and group shows in Toronto, Vancouver, and South Korea. Based on Hornby Island, a small rural community off the coast of British Columbia, she researches cultural scenes and outsider artists. Alongside her studio practice, Harrison curates exhibitions for other artists, with projects in both Toronto and on Hornby Island.
