Emily Wisniewski received her BFA from Northern Arizona University in 2018 on a full scholarship. She continued her education in Italy and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2023 with a fellowship. During her time at MICA, Wisniewski received grants to work on curatorial projects. Her artwork has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including shows at the Museum of Modern Art U Cara, the Peale Museum, MassArt, Amos Eno Gallery, KinoSaito, LIC-A, and Baltimore City Hall. Wisniewski has also had the opportunity to present her work in solo and two-person exhibitions, such as at Gateway Gallery Gallery and Cotyledon Gallery. Her art can currently be seen in exhibitions in Berlin and New York. Most recently, Wisniewski was selected for a residency at Art Farm in Nebraska.
