Emily Zou

Emily is an emerging artist who graduated with Distinction from OCAD University’s BFA Drawing & Painting program (2020). She has studied on exchange at DJCAD in Scotland and has been awarded numerous scholarships (including the Project 31 Drawing & Painting Award and the Women's Art Association of Canada Lynne Ritchie Scholarship).

My practice is concerned with giving psychological experiences a physical form, so I create mindscapes (with imagery inspired by my environment, dreams, and emotions). Often, my work is intuitive, intimate, surreal, and suffocating, and I explore the dichotomies of light and dark, stillness and turbulence, and connection and disconnection.

Contact me if there is anything you would like to say or ask. I would love to hear from you!
