One of the early important exhibitions for Whitehorse’s work happened at Santa Fe’s Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in the 1990s. And now, the museum has just opened Part One of a two-part retrospective of Whitehorse’s paintings titled Intimate Landscapes. Part One is titled Light and Space and Part Two, opening in June is titled Line and Form. Together, the exhibition looks at forty-five years of her career through forty paintings.

We were lucky enough to visit Emmi in her studio, which is full of Japanese anime collectibles — and quite a few bunnies. When we asked about the bunnies, she explained I just like them.
