About Emma
Emma Amaral is a 22-year-old ceramic artist from Mansfield, Pa. Emma will graduate from Keystone College in May of 2023 with a bachelor of arts degree in visual arts with a concentration in art therapy, ceramics, and sculpture, along with a minor in psychology. She found her voice as she used her sculptures to depict thoughts and emotions. She plans to open a studio for young artists.
From the time I got to Keystone, every senior I talked to about having a senior show said, “You have to have a set plan and outcome.”
But why, I asked? I have always believed art has no rules so why do I have to know what I’m doing. So, I decided I was just going to start making things and see what happened. From there I started making sculptures that depicted the way things made me feel. When I started doing this, I started to find a beauty in all the things I hated about myself. I also found a way to cope with things I was struggling with and was able to express them through my art.
