Emma Crawford is an award winning graphic/package designer, dollmaker, artist whose work has been exhibited locally and in NYC. Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, Emma graduated from Arlington High School, then moved to NYC to attend and graduate from Pratt Institute with a BFA degree in Book Arts and a MS degree in Communications & Package Design. Emma worked at Pratt as Coordinator of Art Admissions and was very involved in alumni affairs. Eventually, she left that aspect of education to work as a designer for on-air TV graphics, graphic & package design for cosmetics, fashion, toys, and educational institutions. After many years as a partner/owner of a NYC design company and part-time college level instructor of fine arts, illustration and design, Crawford relocated back to the Hudson Valley and has recently returned to pursuing her fine art printmaking with other women artists at the Woodstock School of Art. Emma terms her technique MonoCollé, one-of-a-kind layered works on paper, a combination of collograph, collage and chine collé. The first time these prints were exhibited was at the Society of Illustrators in NYC. Emma continues to work as a children’s book designer and illustrator, lives in Lagrangeville and maintains a studio at the Cunneen Hackett Arts Center located in the historic River District in Poughkeepsie, NY. Emma is a member of the Society of Illustrators in NYC and was on the Board of Directors for 10 years.
