as seen in

Hi, I'm Emily Plank!

You may have discovered me after seeing one of my hand-painted wedding dresses on social media! No matter what brought you, I'm so glad you're here. Believe it or not, I do a lot more than paint dresses.

I'm a watercolor and acrylic paint artist based in Lakeland, Florida, and I paint everything I can get my hands on (oh and I sometimes model my creations in community fashion shows!)

I started my business over 10 years ago mainly as a photographer and eventually over the years have been returning to my first love…my paintbrush!

My artwork, like my photography, reflects joy and a love of vivid color, whether it’s a pet portrait, a landscape commission or a painted dress.

Want to work together? I'd love to hear from you!

What Keeps me busy

Custom Artwork

I love putting paint on unexpected canvases, like wedding dresses, country singers' jackets, and evening gowns. I also love doing live painting at weddings, and creating sentimental pieces like pet portraits, house sketches, and more! Sound like something you'd like? Reach out today to start working together!

Brand Photography

I currently do photography for a variety of businesses located in Central Florida, including One More Child, PAINT, Carilly, City of Lakeland, and CPS. If you're a local business and would like updated images, reach out today to kick start a collaboration!

Creative Products

Give me a paintbrush and I'm gonna paint something! You'll find my work on cards, coffee mugs, tote bags, and tee shirts. If you want something unique, artsy, and nostalgic, check out my store and bring your favorite piece home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about something?

DO YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR NEW RELEASES?

Yes, sort of…you should join my mailing list so you are in the know first! The plan is to be seasonal with my hand-painted collections such as spring for Easter Eggs, late summer for Fall Pumpkins and fall for my hand painted Ornaments.

DO YOU COLLABORATE WITH BRANDS?

Yes! Please email your project information and budget to hello@emily-plank.com to start a conversation about a possible collaboration.

DO YOU OFFER PERSONAL COMMISSIONS?

I do offer personal commissions (wedding work, hand-painted items, portraiture) at this time, there are seasons in which I have to close down my commission list. Planning ahead for Christmas Gifts is something to consider as it can be a long wait period for a commission, up to 8 weeks or longer.  Please email me to start the process hello@emily-plank.com

DO YOU OFFER CERTAIN PIECES AS A PRINT? CAN I ORDERA PRINT IN A DIFFERENT SIZE?

Because I order all of our prints in bulk quantities from a small printing company, we are somewhat limited in the variety/sizes of prints that we are able to offer for sale. What we have in stock currently is limited to what you see listed in our online shop. We do add new print styles and sizes throughout the year, so there is always a chance that what you’re looking for will show up in the future! Sign up for our email list to be notified of new print releases.

DO YOU OFFER YOUR PRINTS WHOLESALE?

Due to the current size of our company, we are only able to take on a limited number of wholesale partners at this time, but we would love to hear more about your store/wholesale needs. Please email your store name, address, and products(s) of interest to hello@emily-plank.com

DO YOU OFFER HAND-PAINTED ARTWORK WHOLESALE?

Due to the time and labor it takes to hand-paint individual items (such as eggs, candles, ornaments, and other seasonal items), we are unable to provide a wholesale option for anything hand-painted.

CAN I CHANGE MY ORDER ONCE IT HAS BEEN PLACED?

Since most of our orders are filled by a third party, we are unable to change orders once they have been placed. If you have entered the incorrect shipping address for your order, please email us at hello@emily-plank.com and I will assist you. Please know I am a one man show as of right now.

DO YOU OFFER GIFT WRAP OR GIFT MESSAGES?

Because a third party fills our orders, we are unable to include a gift message or gift wrapping.

Mondays being Mondaying.
