Emily Farbman – Art
B.A. in Art History with Visual Arts Concentration, Barnard College
M.S. in Art Education, Massachusetts College of Art

Emily spent much of her youth growing up outside of Washington, DC. However, her senior year spent at a tiny American school in Rabat, Morocco influenced much of her path as a student and educator. She went on to study art, art history, and sociology at Barnard College in New York. After several years working in publishing, she completed her teaching licensure and a Masters in Art Education at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has been teaching art, design, and discovery since 2005. In her own art, she is also focused on people, having found no way to depart from the portraits that she always loved to draw and paint from a very young age. She is so excited to have found a school on the scale of her graduating high school where she developed such immediate, intense, and valuable bonds with her classmates and teachers. She encourages her students to continually innovate and create with their endless artistic resources. Emily joined Meridian in 2015.
