About Emily Beaudoin Art

Emily Beaudoin is a watercolour painter, illustrator, and muralist based in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. She paints to convey the sense of freedom, adventure and energy she experiences while in the mountains, as well as her connection to and love for these wild places. Her aim is to capture the power and ruthlessness of the wilderness as well as its beauty, fragility and extreme vulnerability. Her hope is that her art will transport people to the ridges, summits and valleys she explores and allow them to feel their own sense of connection and awe. The way Emily sees it, people will only fight to protect the wild places they have a relationship with, and if her art inspires even just one person to go outside and want to be a part of the wilderness, she’ll be a happy camper. Emily works with local print shops and sticker manufacturers to translate her original paintings into prints, stickers, and greeting cards. Painting 'en plein air' (in the open air) is her favourite way to work- she will hike, bike or ski into the mountains with her art supplies to capture the flora fauna and landscapes around her. She completes larger pieces in her studio, which is perched above the Columbia River and nestled in the heart of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains. Read their story
