Emily DeBuys is a visual artist living and working in Birmingham, Alabama. Her work is an ever-evolving mix of techniques and subjects, as she explores everything from abstract to realism, botanical to portraiture. Emily's roots in 3-dimensional art can be seen throughout her work in her use of texture and her multimedia approach.

Whether she is painting hyper-realistic insects in watercolor or abstract murals in the homes of clients, her sense of curiosity is ever present - often choosing subjects and surfaces that most times get overlooked. She likes to refer to herself as a sort of alchemist when talking about making art since it is defined as a person who transforms or creates something through a seemingly magical process.
