Emily Drew

“The unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is big far beyond my understanding – to understand maybe by trying to put it into form. To find the feeling of infinity on the horizon line or just over the next hill.”
― Georgia O'Keeffe, Some Memories of Drawings”

 

I'm Emily Drew Mash — painter and surface pattern designer, curator of atmosphere, and lover of layered interiors with soul.

I work with collectors and interior designers like you to bring depth, emotion, and story to the spaces you create. My pieces are made to feel at home among vintage treasures, sculptural lighting, worn leather, and meaningful details — the kind of interiors that linger in memory. My collections are deeply rooted in a love for vintage books, Parisian cafés, antique finds, and the art of intentional living. Inspiration for my work is found through experiencing different cultures, fashion houses, interior design, antiques, and stories of the past. I am always searching for a color palette that sings and textures that tell stories. My work strives to strike a balance between modern and vintage, in a way connecting our past with our present- stories with a brush. 

Whether you're an interior designer styling a space with depth or a collector curating your home with meaning, my hope is that these pieces become part of your personal story — small echoes of beauty that feel both discovered and enduring.

I live in NC with a studio in our home that gets the best afternoon sunlight. When I'm not painting in my studio, I'm treasure hunting at antique stores or planning our next travel adventure. 

I believe in art that feels like a keepsake — rich with feeling, soft in palette, and timeless in presence. My work can be found in private collections across the globe, and now I'm thrilled to share with you as well. Enjoy.
