Emily MacLennan

My paintings aim to explore how everyday places sit in our hearts. Can an alley or an empty storefront be meaningful, or at least beautiful? Careful consideration in capturing, composing and painting these places creates a relationship and preserves them in my conscience.

Originally from Nova Scotia and a graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, I've moved around the country throughout my life and painting my daily surroundings helps me to feel at home.
