Hello there! My name is Emma and I am the owner of Kickturn Studio. Since childhood, I have been passionate about all things outdoors and I love to share these passions through my artwork.

Growing up in Humboldt County on the coast of Northern California, a deep connection to the redwoods, the pacific ocean, and the rugged coastline was put in my heart.

After 16 years of living on the coast, I moved to Montana in 2007 and worked with the Forest Service as a wildland firefighter for many seasons.

Working and adventuring in Big Sky Country placed a love and appreciation for alpine forests, large majestic mountains, and the wild backcountry within me and it is something I cherish.

When I am not working as a high school art teacher, I am often found adventuring the coast and mountains with my loving husband.
All of my artwork is made by my two hands in our off-grid home in the mountains of Montana, where I am surrounded by inspiration and love from my family and our many animals.
