Untitled
by Emily Paul

Emily Paul was dropped on her head as a child but has since fully recovered. Born in New Hampshire and raised in Jackson Hole Wyoming, Emily’s young dreams of becoming a rocket scientist were shattered in elementary school due to a mathematical procedure know as long division. With encouragement from nauseating buffalo and other western wildlife art, in high school Emily embarked on a journey to paint something other than elk. This journey has since carried Emily to the coast of Washington, where the buffalo don’t roam, and into the care of Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies, where long division doesn’t roam either. Here she enriches her brain with classes in fine art and creative writing and on the side ruins her eardrums with punk music, tires her body with days of snowboarding, and wastes away hours with her nose in a book. Currently Emily Paul sits in front of a computer typing in the third person.
