Statement
Emily Grace King is an artist and museum professional living and working in the Denver Metro area. While Emily works in a variety of mediums, her current focus is on creating encaustic monotype assemblies using beeswax from her backyard hives. The pursuit of creating her own artistic medium inspired Emily to learn to keep bees and led her to transform her outdoor space into a haven for pollinators, planting and cultivating the raw material the bees need to create wax for her artwork. Emily was a Social Enterprise Fellow at the Clyfford Still Museum Institute in 2024 and is currently the Art and Exhibits Curator for Special Collections and Archives at Denver Public Library. For more images: emilygraceking.com
