Vibrant Nostalgia: Vintage-inspired Digital Art

Eloquent Moxie is female-influenced retro and vintage style art that is colorful and authentic. Emily Whalen, the artist behind Eloquent Moxie likes to hand letter and draw the things that make life wonderful: self care, self love, coffee, drinks, humor, books, pop culture, and cats (to name a few!).

Who is Emily?

Emily is a digital artist, freelance writer, avid reader, exhausted toddler mom, crochet enthusiast, geek wife, and 0 Star Michelin home chef. Her big girl job now is as a Technical SEO but in her former lives she was an arts administrator, theatrical stage manager, and a film and television producer. 

All of Emily's big girl jobs revolve around one purpose for her: bringing joy to people lives! It was this purpose that lead Emily to take her favorite self care hobby, doodling on her iPad, to Instagram: she wanted to share joy! 

When Emily isn't working, drawing, or chasing a toddler, she enjoys collecting Captain Marvel Funko Pops, binge watching TV, reading romance novels, and crocheting. ​​

Influences

 Years of lectures as an undiagnosed neurodivergent person meant that Emily doodled letters for hours in her childhood. At first, it was to clean up her messy penmanship but it became a joyful hobby before long. But it was a trip to see vintage band posters at the Denver Art Museum that really inspired Emily to look into the way fonts and letters were created long before computer came about. 

She has no formal training but she enjoys taking classes, watching follow along videos, and exploring new types of art and creation every day. She has now been creating digital art for 2 years and loves every moment of it!
