Emily Shedlock (b.1993, Providence, RI) is a Boston-based figurative artist who creates narrative-driven paintings inspired by the Jungian concept of shadow work. Shedlock’s body of work acts as a processing tool for navigating lived-experiences, coming to terms with identity, and partaking in healing through community. 

Shedlock received a BFA in Interior Design with a minor in Fine Arts from The New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University in 2016. Her background in interior design has influenced her focus on color theory and her interest in creating new spaces to process and experience the world around us.

Her work has been exhibited at the Danforth Art Museum, Boston City Hall, and in various galleries throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Her work has been featured as part of GBH’s Community Canvas Digital Mural Series, Artypants Magazine Issue 03 and 04, and Zone 3’s Art In Print series, Volume 19. Emily is a recipient of the 2025 Mass Cultural Council Grants for Creative Individuals and has been recognized as a Highly Commended artist by Homien’s Art Prize during their Summer 2025 Cycle.
