Drawing inspiration from her practice as a year-round swimmer in the San Francisco Bay, Emily Shepard creates richly layered works that explore states of presence, a search for wholeness and embodied understanding. Her process involves deconstructing and reassembling painted and drawn elements, choreographing them into compositions that pulse with authentic gestures and vital energy.
