Emu Painting: I did this painting back in 2022 just before I graduated from High School. I decided to paint an Emu for a few reasons. The first reason is because I am Australian. I lived in Australia until the age of 14. I was missing home and felt nostalgic when in 9th grade I met my friend of 8 years now. when we met she gave me the nick name Emu because my name starts with Em and given my Australian background she thought it was a fun nickname. after awhile the other people I had become friends with started calling me that too, by the time I had graduated even the teachers called me Emu. I knew once I left High School there was a possibility that the nickname she had given me would most likely not be used by most people in the future. I had grown attached to the name and wanted a way to remember my days in School and my home country.
