EmacArtwork has evolved over the years, but in essence, it’s my passion. I am an educator by trade and a painter turned cookie artist by accident. As a mother to two adorable girls, my official cookie tasters, my life is a delightful blend of family, baking, making, and teaching.

My Journey

Art has always been my passion. I painted my way through college and trained to be an art teacher. I sometimes wish I would have gone the starving artist route, but I get hangry! Once I became a mom I traded in my garage studio, for a smaller, warmer, and, most importantly, toddler-proof studio inside my home. That’s where my love of oil pastels grew and my husband’s pleas for storage space brought about home and pet portrait commissions. I like to think my art enjoys its life more outside of our attic!

The Sweet Side

Baking took me by surprise. What started as a favor for my mother-in-law quickly turned into an artistic pursuit all its own. I am 2 years into this sweet journey and loving every minute! From experimenting with dough and icing consistencies to designing and executing new decorating techniques, my life as a cookie artist is satisfying!

Let's Connect

I love creating art that brings joy and sweetness into people's lives. Whether you're looking for a unique painting of your beloved home or pet, or custom cookie art for a special occasion, I'd be thrilled to work with you.

Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to sharing my passion with you!

Warmly,

Emily Yochum
