Emi-Sue Creations

I’m Emily Pacheco, the artist and maker behind Emi-Sue Creations LLC. My journey with fluid art began in 2020 as a personal creative outlet, but it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. I was completely captivated by the fluid, unpredictable nature of acrylic pouring—watching colors split, bloom, and create intricate cells across a canvas felt like equal parts science and magic. Over the years, that passion expanded into upcycling, where I turn dried paint drips into handmade cabochon jewelry, as well as creating hand-painted storefront window murals and custom home decor.I love teaching because fluid art removes the pressure of perfectionism. There are no mistakes in paint pouring—only unexpected, beautiful directions! Nothing brings me more joy than watching a student step into a workshop convinced they "aren't creative, " only to walk away an hour later with a vibrant piece of art they are genuinely proud of. Whether I’m guiding young creators in sensory-friendly sessions, leading corporate team-building events, or hosting social craft nights, my goal is always to build confidence and make art accessible to everyone.A few things that make my craft and background unique:Zero-Waste Studio Practice: Nothing goes to waste in my studio! The colorful paint drops that flow off the canvas during a pour are carefully harvested, dried, and set into nickel-free cabochon jewelry, keychains, and bookmarks.Extensive Teaching Experience: Since launching Emi-Sue Creations in 2024, I have taught hundreds of students across Connecticut through mobile workshops, park and recreation departments, farms, and local taprooms.Press & Public Art: My fluid art techniques and community workshops were featured live on WFSB Channel 3’s Great Day Connecticut. My work has also been exhibited at the Windsor Locks Town Hall, Windsor Main Library, and the Milford Art Festival.Community & Arts Leadership: I previously served as an Artist-in-Residence at WORK_SPACE in Manchester (2024–2025) and as a Farm Educator at Auerfarm, bringing a structured, warm, and highly engaging environment to every event I host.Whether you're joining me for a flip-cup acrylic pour, dot mandalas, or upcycled crafting, you can count on a warm, step-by-step experience where all materials are provided and zero prior experience is needed!
