"My passion is in the creative process, and my goal is to spread joy to the viewer." Artist, Emily Cheek

With a natural gift of nature and nurture, Emily Cheek is an accomplished artist.  She grew up in North Texas and received a Bachelor's in studio art from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas.  Hendrix is one of the nation’s leading liberal arts college in North America. She studied oil painting and drawing under Matthew Lopas.

Upon graduation, Cheek began her career at the Meadows Museum at SMU in Dallas, Texas. The Meadows Museum’s vision is to be the leading center in the United States for exhibition, research and education in the arts and culture of Spain. 

Emily’s art journey then led her to The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (the MAC) in Dallas.  She served as the Membership and Gallery Liaison for several years.  The MAC is a nonprofit arts organization that advocates for local, regional and international artists.

Cheek had the pleasure of working with Jo Mattison, a successful Dallas artist.  She was inspired by Jo’s vibrant work and the opportunity to create along side an established female artist.  

Emily continues to create art.  She dedicates her time to helping women and is active in the non-profit community.
