Emilia Allison is an intermedia artist whose work explores abstract and hyper-conscious themes of existence: detached self-image, herd mentality, and childhood nostalgia, etc.. Her practice delves into making conceptually engaging pieces that challenge conventional narratives. Her work has been recognized most recently in the Havik Visual Art 2025 (May edition), and she is committed to expanding her artistic vision across broader platforms. Currently an 11th-grade student at Rye Country Day School, Emilia has pursued an intensive study of the arts through coursework in Painting I & II, Advanced Topics in Art, Honors Painting and Drawing, and the Honors English Seminar: Art and Artists. Through her evolving body of work, Emilia seeks to provoke thought and conversation, using her interdisciplinary approach to push the boundaries of contemporary art.
