Emily Parent is a Boston-based artist and early educator. The subject of her work is often an expansion on reality, creating a dream-like space for memories or moments to exist. She often pulls imagery from family photographs and her own dreams, hoping to create an understanding between the beauty of the natural world and the human interruptions within it.

She is also inspired by her work as an early educator to experience playfulness in her work, and to utilize engaging materials such as beads, pom-poms, or found objects.

Her residencies include World of Co. Bulgaria (virtual), and Inside-Out Art Museum Beijing.
