Emily Trovillion

A native of southern Illinois, Emily Trovillion spent time in Seattle, Denver and Boulder before settling in Albuquerque.  A figurative painter with a highly specific style, Trovillion creates organic spaces where doll-like inhabitants gaze out from the canvases and wooden panels in both a mysterious and sympathetic way, inviting the viewer to approach their world. Subtle humor and irony are often present in her work.  “What I love most is painting my own vision,” she says.  “I really believe artists should ‘pull out all stops.’”
