Emily Kepulis explores themes of home and selfhood, specifically how they are shaped by memory and experiences, always malleable, nonlinear, and ultimately based on perspective. She acknowledges home as a physical place as well as a place within the body and a locus of perception while referencing family photos, artwork from her lineage, her own past paintings, and anonymous found photos. With no painting being fully planned out, trust and transformation are important parts of the process and the final images. She is interested in how we are shaped by that which surrounds us, our perceptions of ourselves, and our attachment to the self in relation to the whole: what humanness means personally, socially, ancestrally, and spiritually.

Kepulis, Midwest raised, made her way to the Pacific Northwest in 2012 and graduated from Portland State University where she studied drawing, painting, printmaking, and creative writing. Her paintings have been shown with galleries around the United States, Canada, and the UK, most recently Blue Shop Galleries in London and Soft Times Gallery in San Francisco. She has been commissioned for murals and painting projects in both residential and commercial spaces, notably at Teton Lunch Counter in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and a ceiling mural at the entrance of Kimpton Hotel Enso in San Francisco. You can find her writing at the online magazine "The Gravity of the Thing'' as well as in her first solo printed publication titled "Water Briefed." Her paintings have been featured in Suboart Magazine, I Like Your Work Magazine, and Create! Magazine, among others.
