Emma Irwin is a self-taught painter based in Minneapolis whose work is defined by bold, abstract geometric compositions rooted in a love for color theory and the mathematical precision of geometry. Emma studied at the University of Minnesota College of Design, where she honed her understanding of form and structure, which now serves as the foundation for her art practice. She is originally from the Hudson Valley, and has lived in Baltimore and Fayetteville, AR.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My artistic journey has been an exploration of shapes, colors, and the emotions they evoke. Working primarily with acrylics and oils, I create compositions of shapes and color that transcend the everyday, inviting the viewer into a world of interpretation, memory, and feeling.
