ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Emma. I love art history, art and literature. Also doors, the color orange, and sweet potatoes, bad jokes, tea, Frida Kahlo, and Pablo Neruda. I'm currently working on an illustration project for the U.S. Embassy in Serbia. You can check out some of my illustration work here: www.emmafick.com .

PHILOSOPHY

"All that we do is touched with ocean, yet we remain on the shores of what we know."
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." -- [although--new landscapes are good too!]
