Sponsor Spotlight: Art by Emi (and a Giveaway!)

Today I'm pleased to introduce you to Emily Cobett, the mastermind behind Art By Emi. Emily and I have actually been friends since elementary school and even as a kid, she was a terrific artist. I'm so glad that she has continued to draw and paint because she really does incredible work.


As a native Southern Californian, I gain my inspiration from the wide array of local cities and beaches, and their cultures that flourish around me. Ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon, I've had a drive to create images with bright, bold colors, on everything I can get my hands on. I guess you could say I see the world through rose colored glasses; and turquoise.. and chartreuse... and BRIGHT yellow.. and magenta...and.... you get the idea.


My belief is that art can be everywhere, and should be accessible by anyone. I work with multiple mediums on an endless variety of surfaces, in an effort to bring art to those who crave the less mundane. Recent work has included: Surfboards, Bicycles, Musical Instruments, Motorcycle Helmets, Clothing and Accessories for adults/babies, and a lot more. I'm grateful for each unique request I receive, and it warms my heart to connect with others who embrace having art as a prominent part of their day to day life.
