Canadian artist Emily Bickell was inspired from an early age by the serene shores of Lake Ontario and its rich wildlife. Her artistic journey began there and led to an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from the University of Waterloo, specializing in painting and printmaking. Her work reflects a deep connection to nature and a dedication to capturing the beauty of her surroundings.

Emily's artwork has been featured in design magazines Canadian House & Home, Style at Home, and Raum und Wohnen, in the art magazine International Artist, and recently in advertising campaigns for Reese Canada, and Tim Hortons. Her paintings are in private and corporate collections across North America and Europe.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I enjoy being outside, more than anything else. With my paintings I pause moments of reflection in nature so that I can explore them further. I’m fascinated by colours shifting across moving water, the way shapes echo and saturation changes, contrasts of symmetry/asymmetry, opacity/transparency – all these combine to create visual experiences so strong that I need to dive deeper. Life moves so fast - painting allows me to slow down and contemplate.
