Emily Prince (born 1981) is an American artist based in San Francisco. Her art consists mainly of drawings which make up larger installations; these works are often site-specific and incorporate a documentation of time passing.

Personal life and education

She graduated from Stanford University in 2003, where she received the Raina Giese Award in Creative Painting. She completed her MFA in 2008 from University of California, Berkeley.

Career

Prince was part of the 2007 Venice Biennale, showing a multitude of small portraits depicting soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
