Emily O’Reilly is a multi-disciplined artist living in Binghamton, NY. She began her undergraduate studies in 2008 but took a twelve year hiatus from completing her undergraduate degree. She returned to Binghamton University in August 2024 to finish her BFA in painting, completed in May 2025. During the break from her undergrad, Emily started a wedding photography company and traveled the globe documenting other people’s life events and the areas surrounding them. She is a self taught digital photographer, honing in her skillset for those twelve years she wasn’t studying for her undergrad. A crisis of life brought Emily back to painting. When she isn’t working on assignments for the university, her personal work focuses on life cycles and mental landscapes. Another medium she’s been exploring is in printmaking, a discipline in development.
Since Emily’s comeback to visual arts, she’s been active in the local art community, getting involved with a local gallery- Cooperative Gallery 213 as their PR Chair and now gallery president. Her work has been seen in local galleries and restaurants in a couple solo exhibitions, and she’s called upon for different mural projects. She aims to go onto a master’s program to one day teach art in a high school or university.
