Emilia Van Ert

Emilia Van Ert is a prolific artist working with oil paintings, pencil drawings, and fine art photography. She began working with photography and photoshop to manipulate her chosen imagery, but has now turned to hyper-realism through painting and drawing. She enjoys the challenge of fine detail work in portraits and nature, recently focusing on endless varieties of flower blossoms.

Emilia grew up in a small town in south central South Dakota, and now lives and works in Sioux Falls. She received her Bachelor degree in art from Augustana University, and was recently nominated for the Individual Excellence Award in the Arts given out by the Sioux Falls Arts Council.
