Emily Roan is a Visual Artist inspired by paradox, metamorphosis, and “The Butterfly Effect.” Roan’s work embodies abstraction as a language that communicates subtler, invisible spaces. These spaces she creates form a bridge between opposites such as chaos and pattern, time and infinity, as well as measurement and potential. With an emphasis on metamorphosis as a symbol that connects the physical and non-physical, she is focused on de-stigmatizing mental illness and embracing trauma or uncertainty as personal and collective fuel for transformation.

Emily Roan received her BA in Fine Arts with a concentration in Drawing, in conjunction with philosophy from Colorado State University in 2015. She has exhibited her collection of paintings and installations in Solo and Group Exhibitions, internationally and nationally. Roan has worked in the Denver community collaborating on events with non-profits and other creatives, curated exhibitions, and also received an Award of Excellence at 40 West Arts in Denver.
