Emma Steinkraus

Emma Steinkraus is an artist, editor of Company Editions, and Assistant Professor of Fine Art at Hampden-Sydney College. Her paintings and installations use strategies of juxtaposition and layering to explore ecology, gender, and the history of science. Her current project, Wall Garden, casts a spotlight on the contributions of pre-20th century women to scientific art through an immersive wallpaper collaged from reproductions of their work.

Steinkraus’s work is represented by 1969 Gallery in New York, NY and has been exhibited at 21C, the Susquehanna Museum of Art, Target Gallery, and the Williams College Museum of Art. She has been awarded artist residencies at MASS MoCA, the Wassaic Project, the Blue Mountain Center, and Cow House Studios Ireland, amongst others. She recently received the 2020 Eliza Moore Fellowship for Artistic Excellence through the Oak Spring Garden Foundation and a Helen Frankenthaler Full Fellowship through the Vermont Studio Center.
