My new single “Close to Home” drops April 15th. This one is an intense and emotional song about hatred invading our communities. My forthcoming album “Wanderlust” is coming out later this year and I’m excited to share these recordings with you after sitting on them for almost two years! It features some incredible musicians. Some of my best songs. Also the album art is amazing! Original artwork by @bobbyditrani which I will share soon. Enjoy the tease! Give it a share if you could!
Recorded by Aaron Lipp at Temple Cabin Studios in Naples, NY 2023-2024

We’re thrilled to announce our return to Rio Tomatlan for another wild & wonderful Groundhog Day Celebration! It’s rumored that Pennsylvania’s own Punxsutawney Phil’s cousin (Filipe) himself will be in attendance to pour liquor into the mouths of on lookers. Whether he sees his shadow or not, there isn’t a shadow of a doubt that mezcal will be drank, many tacos will be devoured and wild dancing shall ensue! Friday February 6th 9pm at Rio Tomatlan in Canandaigua NY $25 at the door, includes your first drink! 🍺🎶🪕🎻

Thank you all for the birthday love! This day always comes with a mix of emotions of wishing my sister was still here to celebrate our birthdays together and the gratitude and privilege of getting older myself. This year was full of some huge accomplishments while processing more grief and trying to move forward. I am so proud of myself for finishing school and creating work that challenged me and that I truly love. While visiting the AKG during my last semester, I set an intention that within 10 years, I would show my work there. I am elated that I crushed that goal within months. My animation will premier on October 3rd for Squeaky Wheel's Animation Fest. I'm excited for the future and filled with appreciation for it all. It is truly wonderful to be held and supported by my community. Tyler and I spent the day biking over 20 miles to the outskirts of Copenhagen visiting troll statues made by Thomas Dambo, eating delicious food and ending the day by jumping in the cold salty water of the Øresund. This was a place my dad always talked about and visited when he was younger. I scattered his ashes in various places around the city and felt truly blessed to have this experience and to bring some sort of closure to it all. Thankful for all of it. Here's to 36!
Happy Summer Solstice! Celebrate the light with these nature inspired embroidery pieces☀️💦🌳 These are photos of some of my favorite places to spend my time in the summer months. Printed on canvas and stitched with sashiko hand embroidery techniques. #canandaigualake #westernny #sashiko #photoembroidery #mixedmedia
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design just over a week ago! I am super proud of all the hard work I put in, and the new skills I gained for this degree. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way. Check out my latest work on my website emilyengeldesign.com and message me for any screen printing, embroidery and graphic design work!
"Tired Old Dog" written by Tyler Westcott is an ode to our dearly departed dog, Princess Buttercup. This project was a part of a beautiful collaboration between us and the life we shared with our beloved companion. Animations made with analog rotoscoping techniques. Created by printing out individual frames and drawing over them with paint markers and oil pastels. They are scanned back in and edited with After Effects and Premier Pro.

Still smiling and rejoicing over all the love and support I received yesterday for my first solo art show! It truly means the world to me. Thank you for celebrating months of hard work with me and making it a night I will never forget❤️
special thanks to Tony and the amazing staff @allensthardware for providing a beautiful venue, helping with set up and being overall wonderful people who support local music and art in this community
To @shastiolearysoudant and @delanopatterson for all the inspiration over the years, encouraging me to take on this project and giving me the skills to do so
and to my partner @folkfaces for helping me every step of the way. From listening to my stressful, tearful phone calls in the middle of the night, encouraging me and helping me edit projects, promoting my event, tolerating art bombs all over our apartment, cleaning and helping me set up/breakdown until 3 am, making amazing food and doing all that you could to make sure I was having a good time. I am so happy we were able to make such an epic collaboration to celebrate the life of our wonderful pup ❤️
This was the perfect ending to my time at Buffalo State so thank you my friends, family, teachers, and the Buffalo community who made it all possible along the way.
