Emily Mae Smith's captivating art seamlessly weaves Surrealism, Symbolism, and Pop art into a unique feminist aesthetic. Her confrontational paintings and works on paper, often featuring an anthropomorphic broom character, cleverly allude to Disney's Fantasia and broader gendered domestic roles. A Columbia University MFA graduate, Smith has exhibited globally, including in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Berlin, and Brussels. Her work graces public collections such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Dallas Museum of Art. Achieving seven-figure prices on the secondary market, Smith playfully engages with art history, infusing traditionally masculine painting styles with a distinct sense of feminine interiority.
