Bio: Emily Mercedes is an artist who grew up in Fort Wayne. She lived all over the U.S. after graduating from Indiana University. Each city provided new adventures and inspiration--from Chicago to Nashville and Atlanta, across to Venice Beach. She and her husband lived in Austin Texas for six years and started their family. They landed back in Fort Wayne several years ago. 

When her oldest son was one, she quit her job as the Head Editor of a website and started to paint while he was napping. She has four children now and mostly paints at night. She enjoys mixed media and works primarily with acrylic gouache and watercolor. Her colorful paintings often evoke nostalgia.
