Emily Krill is a found paper collage artist working in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. She attended the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts and then Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts. She spent twenty years in New York City painting and working for interior designers and architects.

She constructs collages out of paper ephemera from the 1850s to the 1970s. Ledgers, checks, documents, and letters. Although these older methods of recording and tracking the details of daily life have become obsolete, they hold a collective memory and history. Using a simple cut-and-paste method, she creates large-scale, as well as small-scale collaged paintings. She adds vibrant ink colors and whimsical patterns to these mundane materials to create something altogether new. The beautifully inked handwriting of an 1880's ledger converges with the clumsy pencil handwriting of a 1940-s school child practicing their spelling.
