In her studied and emotionally resonant work, Emily Sheehan’s interpretation of perceptual drawing encompasses all of the sensory responses associated with an experience. She says in her artist statement “The activity of drawing holds me in the human space longer. In my effort to portray a moment in a drawn image, I consider the situation of the encounter and the depth of the physical and psychological responses triggered in the moment.”
Sheehan is a Professor of Fine Art and Drawing Area Head at Indiana University Southeast. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Visual Studies from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including competitive shows, throughout the United States.
