Laurel Emmons

Art has been a lifelong companion for Laurel Emmons, who works primarily with micron pen, pencil, and acrylic. For her, creating is both an expressive outlet and a source of comfort—offering a way to visualize feelings that words often cannot capture. Over the past seven years, Laurel has deepened her practice through art therapy, discovering just how meaningful and immeasurable her creative work truly is.

Laurel finds great joy in sharing her art, believing that the connection others experience through her drawings and paintings is just as important as the act of making them. She grew up with a family of artists who shared the same passion—and she continues to grow her practice within the supportive community of the La Conner Art Circle.

In addition to her own work, Laurel is part of the Museum of Northwest Art team, where she has the chance to connect with and learn from other Northwest artists. Grateful for the freedom to create and share, she views each piece as both personal reflection and shared experience.
