Emily Trueblood

”I am interested in creating a mood or the feeling of certain weather or time of day with the colors I use.  A third or fourth block is added if I feel it is necessary, but many times I use two blocks. In the proofing stage, I draw and paint on a proof until I find the colors I want to use. When I am ready to print an edition (usually 50 prints with five artist's proofs), I mix the colors, bearing in mind that one color printed over another makes a third color.”

Emily was born in Alexandria, VA.  She studied at Beloit College, Beloit, WI; Academia Artium, Madrid, Spain; University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI; Pratt Graphics Center, NY; and The Arts Students League, NY.   She is a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA), Audubon Artists, National Arts Club, Salmagundi Club, and Albany Print Club.
