Remembered Gardens—Watercolors of Capricious Nature, celebrates the beauty of the natural world through simple forms.

“The way Stedman paints is just as organic as her subject matter. She doesn’t meticulously
mix colors, but instead throws the paint onto the paper and allows the colors to mix.”
~Josey Bartlett, Queens Chronicle

The distinguishing characteristic of Stedman’s watercolors is her unique way of playing with perspective which reflects how gardens are seen and experienced by people as opposed to how cameras portray them.

Utilizing the interaction between randomness and technique, Stedman employs the watercolor medium as a jumping-off point for the ebb and flow of natural elements in the environment.
Born in New York City, Emily Stedman’s family moved to France when she was in first grade. Her oil and watercolor paintings, exploring imagined narrative memories, have been shown in group and solo shows including The Brooklyn Museum; The Rotunda Gallery, Brooklyn, New York; Historic Northampton Museum, Northampton, MA; and numerous other galleries, publications and collections. She was a Painter-in-Residence at Bryant Park, New York, NY; created a street art mural for the City of Yonkers, NY; a Painter-In-Residence for Su Casa sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council; and was a Creative Artists’ Corps grant recipient in the summer of 2021.
