Emily Ward - Original Artwork

Get to Know the Artist:
Emily Ward is a self-taught acrylic painter based in Austin, Texas. Her work captures the vibrancy and movement of everyday life, using bold color and layered textures to draw viewers into moments often overlooked. As a wheelchair user, Emily brings a perspective shaped by lived experience, but her art is less about limitation and more about joy—the fullness of life, love, and presence. Her recent series explores plants, shadows, and shifting moods, turning simple scenes into immersive experiences. With roots in her own discovery of peace and freedom through art, Emily is passionate about making creativity accessible to all. She currently works out of Art Hub ATX, where she continues to expand her practice and share her work with the local community.
