GET TO KNOW

Inspired by vibrant colors and the human condition, I seek to tell stories through art that people find captivating.

Hi there! My name is Emma Ferrante, and I’m a multidisciplinary artist from Roswell, Georgia. Right now, I’m studying graphic design at Samford University, with plans to graduate in May 2025. But beyond being an artist, I’m also a storyteller, a believer, and someone who wholeheartedly trusts that beholding beauty has the power to transform lives.

I’ve been putting my dreams onto paper for as long as I can remember. Whether it was doodling up my arm in class, sketching on my childhood bedroom walls (sorry, Mom), or covering my middle-school-broken-ankle-cast with drawings, art has always been my way of making sense of the world. It helps me process life—the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between.

My work is inspired by the kind of moments that make you pause—the lightness you feel after finally sharing something that’s been weighing on your heart, or the way that orange sunlight paints everything in sight as the sun is setting. Maybe it’s shaped by a whispered prayer you’ve said a hundred times behind closed doors or a profound truth you just heard for the first time this morning. No matter what sparks the idea, I’ve come to realize that the creative process itself is often the most beautiful part.

Because here’s the thing—the act of creating has power. It can unravel parts of ourselves we didn’t even know were there. And I believe with all my heart that creativity is a gift we’ve been invited to share. The Almighty calls His children to partake in His nature—yes, in His divinity, compassion, truth, and love—but also in His boundless creativity. The Spirit of the Living God is at work within us, and what an incredible privilege it is to collabor alongside the Maker of the Universe, the Ultimate Designer, and the Lover of Our Souls.

You can find my fine art on Etsy or at local craft markets where I pop up throughout the seasons. If you’d like to keep up with my creative journey, come hang out on Instagram—@byemmaart for my studio work and @byemmacreative for my graphic design projects. You’re also welcome to follow along on my personal account, where life, faith, and art all intertwine.

At the end of the day, my greatest hope is that my art points beyond itself—to the One who is always speaking, always creating, and always drawing us into something deeper. I hope you find something here that resonates with you, and maybe even choose to stay awhile. My messages are always open—I’d love to hear your story, spark a conversation, or simply share in the beauty of this creative journey together.

Come on in, and stay as long as you’d like.

My best to you,

Emma

I 💘 all things bright, colorful, & funky.
These preferences are likely explained by personality type Enneagram, 4w3,
a.k.a. the individualist,
a.k.a. the creative,
a.k.a., me.

That’s always been my passion: to display the world how I see it.
To pull from my rationally optimistic view on life, coupled with my personal relationship with Jesus, to paint a picture for you all.
(literally)

Growing up, my mom named me “Crafty Tornado”
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that this nickname could not be more accurate.

I really am a mess.

I like to throw things around, splatter in all directions.

Every day I fill my journal with pages of prayers, complaints, rants, hopes, & dreams handed over to the Lord. And as of right now, this is what He’s allowed me to do with all that mess.

He’s gifted me with the desire to leave things different than I found them.

To be honest with you, it’s not my desire to just beautify your daily life. Although I’m flattered when my customers love their new wall decor, that is not the end-goal for me.

I hope to leave every person who stumbles across my chaotic artwork with one thing:
The consideration that there is something (or someOne) bigger than themselves.

So here’s to my ever-changing, over-saturated, scatter-brained, splatter-painted, Spirit-filled, made-on-a-whim,
art.

I am eternally grateful that I have the space to express + explore the craziness that is my twenties.

& I’m sure as heck glad that you’re all along for the ride!

Cheers✨
