Bio

Emily Jo Rubinfeld is an accomplished painter and photographer residing in Wayland, MA. She received her B.F.A. from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA where she majored in printmaking and art education. She is also a graduate of New York City’s LaGuardia High School of Music and Art—the “Fame” school.

Early in her career she taught art to high school students at the Arlington School at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA, and later was the art teacher at Loker Elementary School in Wayland, Massachusetts.

Emily started Artistic Photography, her own business, specializing in family events and in black-and-white portraiture. Today, her photography centers on capturing the material for her own artistic explorations.

For over 30 years, Emily has painted in her studio at Saxonville Studios in Framingham, MA producing a large body of work in acrylics, watercolors, oils, and mixed media. She served as President of the Wayland Arts Council and was one of the founders of Art Space in the Wayland Town Building.

Emily and her husband, Paul, have lived in Wayland since 1980 and have three married children and six grandchildren. Her family is made complete by her beloved goldendoodle, Harry Potter (a.k.a. Hairy Pawter), and three granddoodles.
