WHY ART?
Some of my most vivid early memories are moments of making art—drawing a crow with a golden beak out of melted crayons; creating a watercolor portrait of a porcelain doll wearing a bonnet; weaving brightly colored potholders on a little loom—memories that contain the feeling of total concentration and contentment.
Having studied many disciplines in the decades since elementary school, art making is also a practice where my diverse interests can intersect and overlap. Devotion to the natural world, the healing arts, music and poetry all shape my approach to a piece.
SISTER CRYSTALS: 9 MUSES AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
This series emerged reflecting on the bold and bright color combinations, layers and patterns that happen over long arcs of time deep within the belly of this planet.
These paintings are acrylic on paper with glassine collage. Each one is mounted on cradled birch board, custom float framed in raw poplar and ready to hang.

Bio
Philadelphia-based artist, Emily Arin Snider, brings her fascination with the invisible world into form through surreal color combinations in her vivid, mixed-media acrylic paintings. She studied creative writing and studio art at Dartmouth College, then went on to study Traditional Chinese Medicine in grad school before becoming a songwriter for over a decade.
Drawing on her combined passions for the expressive and healing arts, she visually explores how we relate to the unseen world as a source of inspiration, insight and transformation. Delighting in nature’s elements and the deep, strange wisdom of our dreaming selves, her work imagines what it would look like if we could truly see the pulsing of the world that sustains us.
