I'm Emily Schuvart, but most people call me Schu. I've spent the majority of my life in the vibrant city of Atlanta, where the colors and shapes of the world have always danced in a unique symphony just for me. I have synesthesia, a condition that allows me to experience colors and shapes in response to various stimuli. It's as if the world around me is a living canvas, constantly shifting and evolving with every sound, taste, or emotion. 

When words fail to convey the kaleidoscope of my thoughts and emotions, I turn to the canvas and graphic design to speak the language of my soul. My artwork becomes a visual translation of the intricate web of colors and shapes that make up my perception of the world. In the world of art, I find solace, purpose, and limitless inspiration. I find fulfillment in every stroke, every pixel, and every artistic endeavor. 

My creative toolkit spans both traditional and digital realms. I use paints, brushes, oil pastels, and charcoal for traditional artistry. In the digital world, I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Figma, and Canva. This extensive range of mediums and software allows me to craft versatile and impactful artwork and graphics.

One of my favorite quotes, by Manuel Luz, encapsulates the essence of why I create: "We create because we are made in the image of the Creator. We simply cannot help it. This is why Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. This is why Homer told his stories. This is why Shakespeare penned his dramas. This is why David played the ten-string lyre. This is why children draw and play, act and imagine. That is who we are: Children of the Creator. We grasp at sunsets and attempt to paint them. We hear the sound of the ocean and compose sonnets in its honor. We see the autumn swans dance and we dance."
