Hello! I’m Emily Fyfe, a multimedia artist and illustrator. I live with my partner on his family’s farm in Treaty Six Territory, central Alberta, Canada.
In 2023, I graduated from Alberta University of the Arts’ Visual Communications Design program with distinction. I studied illustration and character design, and fell in love with adapting narratives for younger audiences, as well as graphic novels and zines. Recently, I’ve also dabbled in painting murals. My work is influenced by my rural life and the natural world that surrounds me. I enjoy capturing the quaint beauty of farms, small towns, and forests, while telling the stories of those who live in them.
Beyond drawing, painting and collaging, I enjoy gardening and local Canadian history, volunteering for George Pegg Botanic Garden, and managing the Onoway Museum and Heritage Centre. In my spare time, I can be found reading, journaling and helping with farm chores.
Interested in working together? Get in touch by emailing fyfeemily3@gmail.com!
