About the Artist
Emelie A Glessner is a Sweden born, America made, fine art painter, and mother of three. She moved to the United States in her early twenties for college, and ended up spending close to a decade in Southern California. Introductory art classes at the school exposed her to different tools, mediums, and techniques, some of which she further explored, independently for years to come, while taking every opportunity to learn more, and to grow as an artist.
She got married, traded year round sunshine and palm trees for blue crabs and old bay, as they moved across the country to settle down and start a family.
Since becoming a mother, in 2014, her work has been strongly influenced by the world, and life, she strives to create for her own children. A bicultural haven of childhood magic and wonder, grounded in strong family traditions, values, and community.
Emelie paints primarily with oils and acrylics, as she’s working and raising her three children in the beautiful Catoctin mountains, in Maryland, USA.
