Who we are

Studio EmmJean is a Chicago-based art and design studio founded by artist Courtney Shoudis. Specializing in art placement, library curation, tablescapes, and interior consulting, we transform both residential and commercial environments into thoughtful, inspired spaces that reflect personality and style.

All artwork for sale through Studio EmmJean is created exclusively by Courtney Shoudis. A full catalog of available works can be requested, and small art pieces are available for direct purchase on the site. Courtney is also open to commissions, working closely with clients to create pieces that capture their vision and bring artistic energy into their space.

Our library curation services go beyond aesthetics—each art book stack is hand-selected to create visual layers and spark curiosity, making books both a design element and a conversation starter.

We also collaborate with brands to craft visually captivating social media placements and presentations that reflect authenticity and elevate their creative presence.

Whether curating art collections, designing tablescapes, or refining brand visuals, Studio EmmJean is dedicated to bringing creativity and intention to every detail.
