Hi, I’m Emma Tiedemann, a Los Angeles–based artist and designer finishing my BA at Occidental College. My double major in Studio Art and Media Arts and Culture explores painting, sculpture, photography, and public art, with a focus on how communities engage with space and storytelling. Beyond creating, I design production visuals and social content for film and live performances, mentor students as a teaching artist, and collaborate with fellow artists on murals and exhibitions. I value culturally sustaining pedagogy, inclusive learning environments, and bringing creative concepts to life on wall, stage, and screen.
