"Spring Breeze", Watercolor with Scherenschnitte |
Bluebirds on boxes and frolicking foxes, kingfishers fishing and bicycle wishing... these are few of my favorite things.
Emily Yellow Bird's paintings are unique and fanciful, combining the traditions of Folk- Art with the contemporary; some of her favorite things. She shares her stories and heritage within her watercolors and paper cuttings as she marches to the beat of her own drum. |
|
In recent years, as an artist I came to a realization that I was at a point of necessary growth when I asked myself, “How are my watercolors unique?” and couldn't answer.
|
"It's important to know where you come from so that you know where you're going." |
I have felt a deep need to learn more about the traditions and ways of my people. I’ve turned my focus back to my roots, Pennsylvania German AKA PA Dutch in Appalachia country and Scotch-Irish. |

Writing Workshop, Whitefish MT, September 19-23 |
Listening to an exciting lecture by passionate Children's Literature professor, Anita Voelker, a memorable and inspirational teacher, I dreamed about becoming a children's book author and illustrator. Now a goal, I am taking the steps to make them a reality- I am continuing my quest to develop my writing, with my focus on one particular picture book, "The Shadow".
My main requirement: TIME, which this workshop will provide...revise, EDIT, REVISE. Illustrations have also taken flight in my mind & on sketch pad; my choice mediums- watercolor and paper cutting
