Hi.

I am interested in what makes us laugh and what makes us uncomfortable. I like what happens when the combination of ordinary objects creates something absurd. I use Vintage craft supplies and fiber art techniques, both steeped in tradition, to create dissonance between what we expect and what is presented.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Emily Yarborough. I am a public high school visual art teacher and artist from Long Beach, California.

I love working with young artists. They teach me a lot.

My career informs my personal art practice. Play drives my work. Whimsy is survival.
