Emily Christensen McPhie
Emily Christensen McPhie was born in Utah in 1978 into the highly-artistic Christensen f
amily. As a child, she toured the museums of the United States and Europe with her family. At each museum, Emily and her
brothers and sisters were told they could choose a postcard as a souvenir, and young Emily’s postcard collection quickly
filled with early American portraits and Degas’ studies of young dancers. The influence of these museum trips is
apparent in Emily’s portfolio of paintings. Growing up, the pursuit of art was second-nature for McPhie, who went on
to win awards for art in high school and beyond. Emily graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor
of Fine Arts, with an emphasis in painting.
