Emilie makes her first appearance on IA to share her perspective on the beauty of everyday life and how her work struck an unexpected cord during the whirlwind of the past two years. Along the way, a range of related topics are broached including:

• the unexpected sentimentality and nostalgia of crowded, bustling spaces
• challenging ourselves to find beauty in "ordinary" scenes and experiences
• the value and necessity of uncontroversial art
• how patience and diligence can help overcome imposter syndrome
• the fundamental mindfulness of an artistic eye
• finding the midpoint of competence and innovation

and many more!
