Emily Polanowski

Simply put, art brings me peace of mind. I don't feel like I have anything to prove and I change my style all the time.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I have a short attention span, so the mediums change all the time. "Type" feels a little general. I could say in a literal sense I love photography. In a more metaphorical sense, I like to create things that bring a saturated idea in someone's mind. Whether its bright colors that grab attention or softer darker tones that bring a memory or idea to someone else.

Where do you find inspiration?

Life and movement. I won't say I'm not deeply inspired by others works and use them as a guideline. When you are born into a world filled to the brim with creators of past's works and with the growing media it becomes harder to have an "original" thought. Movement is expressive and alive. While things that sit still can speak a million words, movement shouts them.

What would you do with $25,000?

While I do think a small portion would go to the art community at home, a large portion would go towards building up my equipment and my savings that go towards future projects. As a small artist with a small following, I don't have many funds to back me up. I never use my "beginner" materials as an excuse, but would I feel more secure with stability, in truth, yes. The opportunity alone is more important than anything else.
