Today I talk with artist Emily Rose Art. She discusses her journey in pencil drawing and how she started her own business. She is mainly self-taught and values practice and dedication. She integrates music into her art and finds inspiration from classic rock, especially the Beatles. She believes that music takes people on a journey beyond the physical and aims to capture that in her artwork. The spark moment for this idea came when she listened to "Age of Machine" by Greta Van Fleet and decided to create a still image that represents the world she visualizes while listening to music.
