Emily Pope (b. 1993, Canada) is a painter living and working in Toronto, Canada. Her work explores the interaction of figure with symbolic elements and settings to amplify her experiences of womanhood. Pope's recurring use of symbolism and still life serve as visual anchors, working on themes of longing, identity, and transformation through the emotional landscapes she traverses, aiming to provide a glimpse into the intangible experiences of existing, presenting an inward life of daydreams on canvas.
