Designs by Emily will be at ART on the GRAND in Downtown Farmington on June 6 & 7.

Detroit-based artist Emily Adelman explores the unique properties of epoxy resin to create both two- and three-dimensional works that embody the human connection with nature. Currently pursuing a BFA in Interdisciplinary Art + Design at the College for Creative Studies, Adelman brings a distinctive perspective shaped by her background in patent law—bridging scientific inquiry with artistic experimentation. For her, art is both a creative pursuit and a meditative practice, offering a space for reflection and renewal.

Her work has received notable recognition, including first place in Contemporary Art Gallery Online’s 2017 competition for her sculpture Fountain, and a top 25 placement at ArtPrize 10 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for her piece Liquified! Adelman’s other exhibitions and shows include the 2017 ArtPrize 9 in Grand Rapids, MI, the 2019 Michigan Annual XLVI in Mount Clemens, MI, the 2019 West of Center: Art That Pushes Boundaries in Northville, MI, the 2020 Great Northern Art Explosion in Grayling, MI, the 2022-2023 Public Art Program at Farmington Hills City Hall in Farmington Hills, MI, the 2025 Student Exhibition at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI, and the 2025 Skulptderive at Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, OH.
