Artist Statement:
Emma Crowley is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the playful, the surreal, and the unexpected through painting, ceramics, and sculpture. Her work brings whimsical creatures, vivid narratives, and functional art to life, blending technical expertise with a love for the strange and charming.
 
With a background in ceramics and sculpture, Crowley’s approach is rooted in craftsmanship and material exploration. Her handcrafted mugs, with quirky little legs and creature-like details, transform everyday objects into small works of art that are often functional, but full of personality. 
Her paintings layer bold colors, surreal compositions, animals, and curious characters, inviting viewers into worlds where the familiar takes on a new, dreamlike quality. 
 
Each piece, whether a gremlin sculpture, a sculptural mug, or a narrative-driven painting, is crafted with the goal of sparking joy and curiosity. Inspired by nature, folklore, and the small oddities of daily life, Crowley’s work invites a sense of wonder; encouraging people to bring a little magic into their homes.
