About Emily:
Emily Strong is a figurative oil painter based out of building Eleven20 in Easton, Pennsylvania. Strong was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1992 and received her undergraduate degrees in Studio Art and Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Moravian University of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2015. Her study of psychology and sociology has greatly influenced the conceptual and formal aspects of her work.

Strong works primarily in oil on canvas, creating realistic, intimate depictions of figures and spaces that explore the many complexities of relationships with self, other, and environment, as well as existence, isolation, and identity.

In addition to her personal studio practice, Strong has worked in the arts as a freelance mural artist, studio assistant to multiple artists, a gallery professional at various institutions, artist’s model, and from 2020-2023 co-founded and co-directed the online gallery Manifold Global. She is currently the Exhibitions and Collections Coordinator at The Baum School of Art in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
