Emilia Rose Artwork

Hello! My name is Emilie Kovacs, and I’m a lifelong artist who hails from the Midwest. Currently, my artwork is mainly watercolor and is inspired by my Faith, travels, and the beauty of nature. Artwork has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it has taken me along many paths - including 8 years of teaching elementary art. While I attended art school for a time, much of my skills were self-taught or learned through conversations and working with other artists.

I love creating artwork that brings a sense of joy to others, as well as providing opportunities for people to make loving connections through thoughtful gifts of prints, stickers, magnets, or beautiful cards. My paintings usually begin with an image requested by someone or photos taken during my travels. I try to be intentional in what I paint, so many of the subjects I choose come with a meaningful memory or story that I love to share with others. My methods are simple and traditional. I create realistic details in my paintings by building up several thin layers of watercolor on archival watercolor paper. Often, I’ll also create artwork with pen and ink and sometimes add color to my pen drawings using watercolor. When finished with this step, I use my paintings and ink drawings to create art prints and greeting cards out of our home printing studio. I hope that when others see my artwork, they can find blessing, peace, and an opportunity to make connections with others.
