Emily Yosway Herr
Emily Herr (she/her) is an artist from Richmond, VA who creates custom hand-painted murals at home and on the road under the name HerrSuite. She specializes in careful context-based design with bright imagery. Self-employed since graduation from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013, she works full-time as a muralist for public, commercial, and residential clients.
Herr pursues continuing education in the form of workshops and painting trips across the US and abroad, as well as leading the non-profit RVA Makers since 2017. Ambitious personal projects guide the shape of her client work - most recently designing and building a mobile artist studio, and then launching a traveling mural project called “Girls! Girls! Girls!” to better represent women in public art.

I’m here, and I’m doing it on purpose. My life and art practice center around the belief that you should embrace your space - your body, house, neighborhood, city, all of it. Each project is a unique opportunity to explore a new context that will drive the shape of the art I create.
