Emily Loving 

Artist Biography
Emily Loving is  a Dallas-based artist  who is currently teaching at the University of Texas at Dallas and Richland College. She also works as a freelance lifestyle and food photographer & digital re-toucher.  
 

Artist Statement 
Much of my work has been influenced by the power photographic images have on us as viewers. Photographs influence our perception, recollection, and reality. The images we look at everyday or hold in our memories are constantly being rearranged and reexamined.  By altering, cutting, and rearranging various photographs, I am inviting the viewer to call into question those expectations of the images and the embedded meanings laying in each.  ​
