About EEMA
EEMA aka Amy is a lesbian artist based in Washington state. Her work spans figures, symbols, and abstract patterns—drawn together through her signature linework. Whether she’s tracing skeletons, layering hearts and spirals, or transforming familiar shapes into rhythmic repetition, Amy’s art is about recognition: seeing what’s hidden in plain sight until it becomes something new.

Her earliest influence came from her grandmother, Dorothea Pedersen, a watercolorist who encouraged experimentation and independence. That lineage shaped Amy’s instinct to return to the same marks again and again—finding rhythm, surprise, and meaning in their transformation.

“I like to draw, but I am not an illustrator. I am a queer artist; I draw what I want to see on the page,” Amy explains. Her work isn’t built for commercial approval, but for presence, impulse, and truth.

Her art has been featured in Stonewall News Northwest (July 2025) and continues to appear in collaborative projects, queer spaces, and wearable art collections.
