Em Lang is a primarily self taught artist who grew up in a house of women in Anchorage, Alaska. Through her childhood fascinations with literature, animation and illustration, Em developed her art with a combination of their collective sensibilities and her naturally expressive style provided a challenging source of entertainment as well as an escape for the artist. Many of the themes and subjects of animals, nature, love and conflict continue to fuel Em’s work today, refined by a lifelong obsession with drawing. 

Em Lang currently resides in Juneau, Alaska, working side by side with Huk Yuunsk Lang. When they aren't touring tattoo conventions, you can find them practicing their craft at their shop, High Tide Tattoo.
