About TED EMRICK
Unique to his aquatic childhood in Southern California, Ted Emrick’s appreciation and respect of his ocean environment has created a powerful artistic style conscious of light, motion, time and life. Always seeking, Ted finds inspiration from cave painting and rock art expeditions, world travels, environmental themes and anything — or anyone — that is dynamic and provocative. His work strives to find a balance between contemporary and primitive visual storytelling.
Ted’s talents also include creating artful designs for homes or corporate spaces. As someone who can design and build as well as draw, paint and sculpt, Ted can conceive and create unique, artistic and well-constructed custom pieces to stylize a space or structure.
Cuesta College recognized Ted as an Honored Alumni in 2017.
