It’s been a quiet yet transformative year for Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer. The 30-year-old lives in Camaiore, a small Tuscan town an hour from Florence, where she creates whimsical paintings that verge on the surreal—tender yet lonely depictions of animals in familiar landscapes.
Her first solo exhibition, “The Scapegoat,” is now on view in Tribeca, at Sapar Contemporary. It’s a full-circle moment—nearly a decade ago, she interned at the New York gallery, helping hang other people’s paintings. “It was nice to reflect and realize I’ve come a long way since then,” she says.
