Hi, I’m Emily — artist, illustrator, and the heart behind West 5th Creative.

What started as a creative outlet has grown into a heartfelt studio where I blend watercolor and digital illustration to tell meaningful stories. Inspired by my mom’s flower garden, the magic of everyday moments, and the joy of creating something just to make someone happy, my work is designed to feel personal, warm, and thoughtfully handmade.

At West 5th Creative, you’ll find custom portraits, floral fine art, and watercolor workshops that celebrate connection — between families, memories, and the beauty of simple things. Whether I’m painting a custom piece for your home or illustrating a detail that makes you smile, my goal is always the same: to create with heart and intention.

Thank you for being here and supporting handmade art. It’s truly a joy to create pieces that become part of your story.

Artiscally yours,

Emily
