For Emma Leturgez, family was the first source of inspiration and support. Her grandmother was a fantastic painter who encouraged Emma to draw, paint, and sculpt anything she could think up as a child. “Her studio, full of art supplies and paintings, felt almost magical,” Emma says. “Now I have my own little desk studio with her work on display to keep encouraging me.”
