About me

Hi, I'm Emily Lovejoy, a New Orleans based multidisciplinary artist working across painting and photography. My creative practice centers on abstraction, color, intuition, and the emotional presence of everyday life. Im very sensitive to what can be felt before it can be articulated and most often I create from that place.


Each painting begins with an intention. I think about color, composition, gesture, and the physical process of painting as carrying a particular frequency, and I approach each work as an opportunity to shift the energy of the space it enters and the people who encounter it. My creative practice is strongly connected with my spiritual practice, with each continually informing the other. The intention is not simply to make something beautiful, but to create an experience that can meet the viewer where they are and, perhaps, raise their frequency.


My photography practice is rooted in the same attention to presence. I shoot architecture, interiors, people, still life, and increasingly the natural world, looking for the smaller moments that reveal something about a place, a person, or a particular moment in time. Whether photographing things in my garden or making an abstract painting, I am wholly interested in creating, capturing, and sharing beauty.
