BIO

          A native of Ranchester , Wyoming , Emily Boespflug now lives in Jackson where she teaches art and coordinates the youth and outreach programs for the Art Association of Jackson Hole. Since childhood, Emily has always been moved by the natural world, from studies in science to studies on canvas. A serious car accident following her first year of college interrupted her focus in science and inspired a greater interest in art therapy and painting. Upon receiving her BFA from the University of Wyoming , she continued to share her passion and knowledge of the healing arts with senior citizens and the chronically mentally ill through an internship in the School of Nursing . Emily's artistic explorations continued down to Florida where she worked at the Wallaby Ranch hang gliding school and began painting murals in homes for three years. Throughout this time, she spent several months traveling to the best flying sites and painting and drawing en plein air . While living among Wyoming's most dramatic and diverse landscapes, Emily continues to work in oil, watercolor and pastel, illustrating aspects of these incredible views.
