Emily Valenza is a recent graduate of Penn State University, with a BS in Art Education and minor in East Asian Studies. She is currently teaching Art at a private institution and plans to pursue her MFA in drawing and painting. Valenza's work is mainly figurative, with enclosed spaces. Entomology plays a large part in the stories told through her work, as insect behavior mirrors human behavior to create unexpected metaphors. http://www.printpop.com/midorionna en-us http://www.printpop.com/686&rss=1 <IMG border="0" src="http://www.printpop.com/thumbs/thumb_686.jpg" alt="cleave" title="cleave"/> oils - 1/4 in the "bounded" series http://www.printpop.com/686 en-us http://www.printpop.com/687&rss=1 <IMG border="0" src="http://www.printpop.com/thumbs/thumb_687.jpg" alt="metamorphose" title="metamorphose"/> oils - 2/4 in the "bounded" series http://www.printpop.com/687 en-us http://www.printpop.com/688&rss=1 <IMG border="0" src="http://www.printpop.com/thumbs/thumb_688.jpg" alt="straddle" title="straddle"/> oils - 3/4 in the "bounded" series http://www.printpop.com/688 en-us http://www.printpop.com/689&rss=1 <IMG border="0" src="http://www.printpop.com/thumbs/thumb_689.jpg" alt="rally" title="rally"/> oils - 4/4 in the "bounded" series http://www.printpop.com/689 en-us http://www.printpop.com/690&rss=1 <IMG border="0" src="http://www.printpop.com/thumbs/thumb_690.jpg" alt="mixed identity" title="mixed identity"/> oils on masonite - a visual exploration of cultural and religious identity http://www.printpop.com/690
