About Me
Emmanuelle Le Gal is the Creative Director at Dreamworld Design, her own design studio. Originally from Brittany, France, Emmanuelle moved to Boston, where she pursued a BA in Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art. With over twenty-five years of experience as a graphic designer, Emmanuelle's career began as a freelancer for prominent clients; Boston Magazine, Design Times and Fox News. In one of her most recent projects, from 2020 to 2022, Emmanuelle collaborated on the epistolary novel “Flowers, A Love Story” by Jack Flowers, combining her art skills with her computer expertise to create unique collages that bring the story to life. Emmanuelle loves creating marketing strategies and brands that truly align with her clients’ visions and goals.
Although her career is multifaceted, the fine arts have always been a central part of Emmanuelle’s life. She has worked with various mediums, including pastels, oil paints, acrylics and now focuses on watercolors for their immediacy and simplicity. Emmanuelle regularly exhibits her work across Boston’s North Shore at venues such as Galleries at LynnArts, Marblehead Arts Association, and SalemArts. For the past ten years, she has participated in the annual ART/Word exhibit with 25 other visual artists at the Wedeman Gallery at the Yamawaki Art & Cultural Center in Newton, MA. This summer her painting “ Follow Your Art But Take Your Brain With You” was part of The Alquemie Project Juried Art Exhibition at The Jolie Tea Company in Salem, MA.
After moving to Lynn, Emmanuelle quickly made community an integral part of her life. She is a founding board member of Galleries at LynnArts; she played a key role in establishing this non-profit arts collaborative dedicated to nurturing and promoting local artists. She’s had the opportunity to curate and install group exhibitions.
Emmanuelle’s deep love for the arts has profoundly shaped her perspective on their vital role in enriching both individual lives and entire communities, which led her to develop an interest in public art. In 2020/2021, she was awarded a grant from the Lynn Cultural Council and the Canvas The City grant from the Downtown Lynn Cultural District to develop a flag tape installation. This project featured typography fence art to display inspiring and uplifting words throughout the city of Lynn during the pandemic. In 2023, Emmanuelle was awarded a second Lynn Cultural Council grant and a LynnSpire Creative Placemaking grant for her art inspired by the Northern Strand Community Trail. This project consisted of an indoor pop-up exhibit and an outdoor installation of 18 yard signs placed along the bike path to highlight its scenic beauty and how it brings people together.
In 2023, she was the recipient of the Fabric of The Community: An Art Box Mural Project, where her design paid homage to the Celtic nations represented in Lynn, MA. That same year, Emmanuelle was selected to paint two fiberglass cows for the CowParade New England, presented by Herb Chambers to benefit the Jimmy Fund. Her creation, “Grazie Goods,” commissioned by Home Goods, was inspired by the surprise and delight of shopping with bold colors and rich textures. Her second cow, “Moo-Moo Boston,” was purchased by Arbella Insurance and showcases a whimsical design of Boston’s landmarks that seamlessly combines her graphic design skills with her artistic practice.
Working as a graphic designer and artist has given Emmanuelle the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. She has witnessed how visual art can build strong connections between individuals and communities, which has only deepened her passion for what she does.
