Prince George Scene 11 x 14 Print - Emily Wilson

Emily Wilson is an artist and illustrator living on Lheidli T’enneh territory in her hometown of Prince George, BC. She creates narrative works, using watercolour and gouache on paper, which explore themes of memory, place, and human connection to nature. Emily earned a Certificate of Visual Arts from Vancouver Island School of Art, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science and History from McGill University.

Emily’s work is informed by the northern BC landscapes where she grew up in and continues to live. She is drawn to wild, mysterious things, in both vast landscapes and microscopic ecosystems. Painting is a way to explore her emotional ties to a place, and also a means of observing that place as it changes, both with the seasons and with the changing climate.
