Meet Emily Garcia

Portfolio Video

I come from an artistic family. My mother sews, hand makes jewelry, and creates floral arrangements. While my father was a breakdancer and did graffiti when he was younger. My sophomore year of high school, I joined a club called Community Bridges. It is difficult to explain exactly what this program did for me, but what I can say is that I became the person I always wanted to be.
Most of my work is made for a specific person or about my experience with that person. In my work, I enjoy incorporating textures and mark making. I achieve this by the use of a palette knife or a fine paint brush. I'm not afraid of spending hours in the small details. What you will also notice is that I love to learn new things, which is why I have several hobbies.
After graduating from Montgomery college, I plan to transfer into a four year university. I aspire to complete a bachelor's and master's degree in art educating.
