Emily Farish

Artist Bio Artist Work

Emily Farish is an artist in New York City who specializes in large-scale botanical drawings. Her work can be found in galleries around the country, and she works steadily with designers on commercial and residential art placement projects.

Each of Emily’s drawings begins with the concept of wabi-sabi, which is the Japanese philosophy most commonly described as “the beauty of things imperfect and impermanent”. She carefully renders the branches and flowers she gathers at the wholesale flower shops along 28th Street, NYC’s Floral District, as well as the tape, staples, and scratch marks found on her studio wall.
