A Little More About
The Artist
Emily Anderson resides in Cullman, Alabama with her husband, Greg. A graduate of Georgetown College in Kentucky, she earned her BA in Fine Arts in 1998. Throughout her adult life Emily dedicated herself to the craft of mural painting and traveling across the country to bring large-scale works of art to life. She considers it a privilege to have built a full-time career doing what she loves.
In 2020, Emily transitioned from mural work to studio artistry, where she now creates commissioned pieces for her clients and collectors. Outside of the studio she finds joy in walking, hiking, exploring nature, and partnering with Greg as his trusted “top hand” on their cattle ranch.
