Emily McVarish

Emily McVarish (born 1965) is an American writer, designer, book artist and associate professor at California College of the Arts. She lives and works in San Francisco and is one of only a handful of artists whose work takes the form of books.[1] Clifton Meador says "she uses the form of the book to explore things that cannot be explored any other way".[1]

McVarish’s books are die-cut, handset, printed, and bound.[2] Her book Quickstead was selected as the Alastair Johnston Award Winner in 2014.[3]

Her work is held by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s artist’s book collection, British Library’s American Collections and Harvard University’s Printing and Graphic Arts Collection.[4]

Her work has been exhibited at Lesley University in Cambridge the Center for Book Arts in New York, and the San Francisco Public Library[3]
