Emerald Barkley was born in California and raised in Truckee. While she is currently living in Rocklin, the mountains will always feel like home. Emerald is 27 years old, and began studying art at Sierra College a number of years ago. In the spring of 2012, she won the Halberg Merit Award at Sierra College, which included a show with the other recipients as well as a nice scholarship.

She has a quirky sense of wonder and whimsy which frequently makes their way into her work. A lot of her inspiration comes from nature. For future works, she has been feeling the need to explore the deeply seeded need to connect with nature as humanity is increasingly disconnected from the natural world, as well as the manner in which that need manifests itself in our day to day lives. Sometimes she just comes up with random images during the long commute to work that have to put down on paper.

Emerald uses oils, acrylics, watercolors, spray paints, and whatever interesting textures she can find. She is always looking to expand her thinking by continually taking local classes and workshops in her area.

In addition to her artistic ventures, she is an avid student of martial arts and Parkour. She is studying for her brown belt in American Kenpo at the Kenjudo Kenpo School in Auburn California.
