Emily Barnes’ Illustrations Celebrate Life

Illustrator Emily Barnes has a goal to “create art that reflects on, inspires, and laughs with life,” as she writes on her website. Barnes started her company Illustrations by Em in 2018 and since then she’s published children’s books, illustrations, comics, portraits, and other design work.

Barnes’ work is filled with imagination, optimism, humor, and adventure. We really love her style and the colors she uses!

“When she’s not at her desk creating or glued to her computer administrating, she’s either sipping coffee on a rainy Louis Armstrong kind of day or playing Uno way too competitively,” her website reads.
