Emily Batson
Emily Batson is an artist and art educator based out of Waxhaw, NC. She got her start with her parents, sewing in the dining room or building in the woodshop. Emily won an award in high school that took her on a week-long trip to NYC to visit artists, craftsmen, and fashion designers in their studios. That week would set her trajectory to pursue art as a career.
In college, she studied Art Education and mastered a wide range of mediums before settling on oil paint as her preferred medium. Emily chose to become a teacher to create the same nurturing environment for students that she thrived in.
She returned home to Charlotte to teach in public schools. Her time teaching was a deep growth experience. She taught large refugee populations and students from all different backgrounds. The art classroom refreshed and unified her students with restful creativity and satisfying craftsmanship.
Now married with three kids to love and enjoy, she is afforded time to explore her own artistic endeavors and teach private lessons as well as online classes.
“My artwork reflects the beauty of life around me. I especially love how the raw elements of our world interact to produce stunning beauty. Trees have captured my attention for years- the giant reaching branches, the light breaking through the canopy, and the record of growth through adversity. Bright pops of color and intuitive lines are characteristic of my work.”
