Anne Emmons is a Denver artist, schooled in traditional Orthodox Icon painting. Her life has permanently been influenced by a love of beauty and a desire to create images. In a sense, Art is her first language. Emmons received her BFA from CU-Denver; where she studied art, geology and art history. She obtained her MFA from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles. Her thesis project, Incomplete Icons of Personhood, was exhibited in 2010. It explored human personhood through the symbolic language of the icon, within the context of relationship roles within family, across cultures and tempral boundaries. 

Emmons' artistic practice is grounded in drawing and painting. She works primarily in watercolors, egg tempera, and gilding. Her art has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Denver, Santa Fe, Washington, Massachusetts and Kansas, and owned in collections in the U.S.,Switzerland, Algeria, Bosnia and Chile. She has lead various seminars presented throughout Colorado,California,Kansas and Oklahoma. Her seminars focus on the research of the theology of beauty through various artistic traditions.
