ARTIST BIO
Emmy Marshall is a self-taught abstract artist, public arts facilitator, and Atlanta native whose work bridges creativity, community, and cultural storytelling. Known for his bold textures, layered compositions, and emotionally resonant palette, Emmy’s art explores themes of identity, healing, and personal reflection.
His practice spans from studio-based paintings to large-scale public installations, wearable art, and interactive experiences designed to bring people together. Emmy is the founder of Painted By Emmy LLC, where he leads with the belief that art should be accessible, inclusive, and deeply connected to everyday life.
Over the years, his work has been exhibited across Atlanta at venues such as The Loft Gallery, Atlanta Contemporary, and Artful ATL. He has completed several community-focused mural projects and was selected to participate in Fulton County Arts and Culture’s It’s A Wrap program and the Beltline Business Ventures: Artist Edition.
Emmy’s commitment to impact extends beyond galleries and murals—he regularly leads workshops for youth, volunteers at the Fulton County Library and Juvenile Justice Center, and creates space for self-expression through projects like Express ATL, a citywide activation inviting the public to share their voices on large blank canvases in public spaces.
His work is rooted in purpose: to connect, inspire, and give back. Whether through a painted drop cloth, a mural, or a simple creative conversation, Emmy believes that art can help us all journey back to ourselves—and toward one another.
