About the Artist

Emily Pavacic is a visual artist, dancer, and educator whose artistic career has been shaped by her dual passions for the visual arts and dance. Her love of creating hand-stitched art began with an unconventional drawing assignment while studying art and dance at Adelphi University. Upon graduating, she continued her studies and earned a Masters in Art Education from NYU- the prelude to a 9-year public school-teaching career. Inspired by the human experience and deep connections, her work is often described as tender and intricate, often centering around the tenderness of humanity. While Emily no longer teaches for public school, she has maintained a deep interest in community work and teaches weekly volunteer ballet classes to her local community.

Emily resides in Queens, NY with her husband and their sweet fur babies, Kiko and Jackson.
