Emma Powell

Emma Powell is an altered book artist.  She is currently being recognized on the Altered Book Association’s website.  I found her work through that site.  I love what she does with books.  Her work is so multi-faceted it’s hard to focus on one thing that I like.  She has done work with stitching paper, cutouts, faux painting, metals, gift cards, and a variety of other methods.  She is so detailed oriented, and this is what I really resonated with.  That is my best and worst quality as an artist.  I find one thing and cannot get my focus off of it until it is completed to the point that it may be considered overdone compared to the rest of the work.  She has had various exhibitions and has taught graphic design courses as well.  She seems very interesting as an artist, I really look forward to looking up more of her work online!
