"There's something lovely about using pretty things to do the everyday things - whether that's writing a note, planning your day, making space for creativity or remembering what's true".

A few years ago, Emily Lex knelt on her closet floor asking God what in the world she was supposed to do with her life. Having a history of saying yes to things that aren’t really hers to do, she was ready to just be fully focused on a career choice of her own. As she was praying, she heard three simple words in her spirit: be an artist.

What does it mean to be an artist? Here’s what Emily landed on:
- Being an artist is about making art, yes, but also more.
- It is about seeing.
- It’s slowing down, paying attention, taking a breath, and noticing.
- It’s using our gifts and talents and passions to love and serve and add beauty to the world, each of us in our own creative way.

So in 2019 she established the Emily Lex Studio in the small coastal town of Gig Harbor, Washington. Her works are about delighting in the little things, then capturing them through scratchy pencil sketches and pretty watercolor puddles or stringing together thoughtful words as an encouragement to others. She loves being an artist.

"Beauty matters. It brings peace and joy to our souls and reminds us that God is good and we are loved. I hope you are delighted and encouraged by all we offer at Emily Lex Studio".
