There’s something so calming about these beautiful landscapes by artist Emily French. Using paper, paint and sometimes digital edits, Emily creates magical places that are rich of color, calm and beauty. I wouldn’t mind spending some time in these gorgeous hideaways!
Emily French is an artist and designer who studied Art at the University of Virginia and currently resides in Charleston with her husband and children. Most of the collages below are from her series called Torn, in which she used torn strips of paper that had first been painted with acrylic gouache, giving her landscapes a playful and semi abstract look.
On her website you can find more of her exciting projects (I’m loving the colorful florals of her Modern Folk series too!). To stay up to date of what Emily is up to, follow her inspiring Instagram.
A selection of Emily’s work is currently available in her webshop!
I experience your artwork as evocative and serene
I too am in the process of making torn painted paper into landscapes scenes. Do you have one or two design principles or such to share with me? I would be very grateful.
