Emily Tyman

Emily Tyman is a painter and printmaker who lives and works in the Finger Lakes region of New York. She completed her MFA at the State University of New York at New Paltz.

Emily’s work explores the memories that cause a need to be comforted and inspire finding a home within oneself. She examines the sense of security and how to cope with painful experiences. The embrace of a stuffed animal, the shelter of a bedroom, and the love for a pet provide safety from an overwhelming force of anxiety. Through her work, she finds and shares how to be comfortable with being your own home.
