Emily Gonzáles was born and raised in Bozeman, MT. Creating is a way of life for Emily, with art being her truest form of communication with the world. She threads connections from the past to the present by way of graphite and mixed media. She creates, breathing life into those who came before us, and honors her Mexican & Indigenous heritage through her work. Animals also frequent her work as she brings forth their medicine and messages into the world.
