Emily Schwartzman is an artist and designer based in San Francisco, whose work explores the emotional resonance of overlooked moments. Drawing inspiration from melancholic details in her travels and daily life, she captures in-between spaces that invite contemplation.

Working primarily with watercolor and gouache, Emily embraces the unpredictability of these mediums, allowing improvisation to guide her process. Her paintings balance familiarity and ambiguity, using vibrant color and subtle symbolism to encourage viewers to linger and uncover their own interpretations.

With a background in Graphic Design and Human-Computer Interaction, Emily has worked across various creative disciplines, but painting remains her most personal and immersive form of expression.
