About Me

I am Emma Hodges, the artist behind Made by Emma!

God has created so many opportunities for me to get to use art to love and connect with people. There are so many ways to make a reminder that this life is to be lived for the Creator of the world! That the purpose of bright colors and art are a reminder that He gives us small joys when we are completely undeserving.
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5
Once we were dead in our sins and now we can be made alive and enjoy this beautiful life with Christ as Lord! I see His compassion when I get to create & I remember His grace when I paint!
Made by Emma officially began in 2021, but many years of painting and discovering the business world led up to it! I have always painted as long as I could remember! I had great influences in my artistic journey. Kym Garraway-Braley, being the main influence, not only helped nurture and develop my artistic gift but discipled me as well.
My pursuit of business started at a young age whenever I attempted to sell anything and everything to my family members, even things that they might have owned. And the making of spread sheets and order forms started as soon I got my Justice clipboard.
Throughout my life I have steadily loved art more and loved sharing it with other people. Made by Emma started with a custom watercolor a friend asked me to make for her mom. Seeing how personal and special art could be for someone fueled my passion.
Meaningful artwork is something I will always aim to create. Whether it's a custom watercolor home that represents an important part of someones life or scripture to hang in a home and to be seen, memorized and cherished. College mementos to carry a piece of that special time in life.
Artwork is treasure to the beholder and I am in love with making things that are impactful, one-of-a-kind, and deeply cherished by each and every person who receives it.
I can not wait to see where Made by Emma goes in the future! I am just along for the ride that the Lord prepares for me!
