Emily Fox King

EMILY FOX KING grew up in Pasco, Washington. As the middle child in a large creative family, from a young age Emily found expression in the visual arts (in a family with seven children one really has to EXPRESS oneself to get any attention!) Her first teacher was her mother, an accomplished artist, Debra Fox. Career highlights include multiple solo exhibitions in her current state of Utah, as well as being included in the Anthropologie 2018 Fall Home Collection. Emily has exhibited nationwide including New York, California, Florida and Nevada and is collected by many, including the Chris and Janae Baird Collection of Contemporary Mormon Art. Much of her work explores notions of femininity, including domestic spaces and feminized objects. Currently she is working with floral imagery. “I think life, motherhood, womanhood, is a mixed bag of beauty, chaos, uncertainty, anger, and resignation, all in one. In the end it’s freaking gorgeousness! That’s what these florals are about” (Interview with Linda Hoffman Kimball, Co-Editor-In-Chief of Segullah.org). While keeping a rigorous studio practice, Emily also teaches painting and drawing at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.
