Emma Sky Wolf was born in the dead of winter during a howling ice storm in Washington DC. She grew up eating her vegetables, reading everything she could get her hands on, drawing on the walls, her doll's faces, her own skin, and finally -to everyones relief- on actual paper.
She is now fascinated with bringing words, dreams, and concepts to life visually, and loves the challenge of storytelling in all its varied forms.
Emma has assistant taught in the MICA illustration dept. and received a scholarship that enabled her to flit off to Paris and spend a lot of time making art in cafes and graveyards. The resulting work took the form of a book of narrative images that culminated in an exhibition.
There are images on this site that highlight work from a book that the artist created illustrating a poem from 1920 by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Some of those images can be found in the Narrative section on this site.
Her work draws on period fashion, literature, childhood, memory, useless antique objects, music, bird and beast creatures, heart connections, weather, and psychology as sources of inspiration.
Emma graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art in May of 2008, and now works as a freelance commercial artist.
