This week we were lucky enough to catch muralist Emily Yosway Herr. Based in Richmond, VA Emily has been designing and painting murals for 9 years and counting. She is very passionate about color, design, and stories tailored to fit the spaces they inhabit. Her efforts have been awarded with numerous grants, scholarships, and invitations to street art festivals and public art events. Emily gave us an inside look on the development of her expertise and what lies in store for her in the future. In this episode we discuss running to instead of running from; the balance between innovating how you work and having predictable, hireable work; and how she lets space, environment, and community inform her work. You can stay up to date on Emily’s happenings at https://www.herrsuite.com/ and follow her on instagram @herrsuite.
Emily’s Artist picks: Jasper Herr, Moonie Day, and Hamilton Glass of The Mending Walls Project
