I grew up believing that I could learn how to do anything. My love of learning has led to many creative expressions including embroidery, songwriting, photography, event design, graphic design, writing, and developing creative community. Photography has been one of the longest standing creative expressions and is one of my favorite ways to capture beauty, both professionally and in my personal life. Several years ago I started looking for ways to make my photographs more compelling as prints. After some experimentation I stumbled upon the idea of embroidering my photographs. In August of 2016 I offered my mixed media creations to the public for the first time and received wonderful feedback. I've continued to learn, collaborate, experiment, and create since then. Most of the pieces are created with my original photographs, but I have played with paint chips and vintage maps and am starting to work on custom maps as well. Now I am constantly on the look out for ideas, collaborations, and perfect moments to turn into art pieces. My primary inspiration is born out of gratitude for tiny moments of beauty in everyday life. Travel, adventure, diverse cultures, new friends, nature, cities, and music inspire her work to new heights.

I write and teach about unlocking your creativity over at the Bright Ideas Collective, my professional photography portfolio is Emily Lewin Photography, I write and play music at Emily Lewin Music, and I'm always on the look out for new ways to collaborate and build community.
