About the Creator

Emma Murrugarra is a mixed media artist based in upstate New York. Emma has always been a creator driven by curiosity, and finds inspiration from seeing the world in new ways. In 2024, Emma decided to take the plunge and dedicate her life to pursuing her art. Before that, she earned a doctorate in psychology, specializing in studying perception and different ways that people see the world. Her unique background has led her to focus on creating in an impressionistic style. One idea that she is particularly fond of is where broken pieces come together to make something beautiful and new. Thus much of her personal work will feature upcycled materials or designs that are made of fragmented elements.

When she isn't drawing or painting, you can often find Emma indulging in some of her other creations. She often works with vastly different materials, from developing videogames, sculpting in 3D modeling software, tinkering with metals and glass, to writing poetry. Each piece she works on represents a new little experiment to capture her impressions of the world around her.
