about the new emmy-art
Long time a coming…
I’ve been working on this body of work for about 4 years now… I’m thrilled to say that it’s pretty much finished… some of the paintings are continuing to be tweaked here and there, (you’ll notice some of the photographs on here aren’t the greatest either, but I’m working on refining that too)… but for the most part I am satisfied with this group of paintings and feel ready to finally share them with you all.
If you’re wondering why I painted these pieces specifically? Great question! I guess I couldn’t not paint them. Ha.
Letting the path reveal itself…
When I paint I tend to just go with the flow… with my ideas, the paint, my mood and see whatever happens. I don’t seem to be able to stick to a plan… I’ve tried that, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. When I make a detailed plan, I end up changing the painting and letting it turn into what it wants.
Maybe it’s beyond my control? What I do know is that I get an inkling when it’s finished & sometimes this inkling can take its sweet time unfortunately.
Check it out!…
New Available Work
I’ve broken the work into 3 categories/galleries…
1
Women & Light
For whatever reason I began to paint women with candles. Do I love candles? Sure I do… lighting candles, making candles, but it wasn’t really a thought… oh, I’ll paint ladies with candles on their heads, alas, it happened. I think they represent staying connected and living in the light of awareness.
2
Festive Flora
So, some of my flowers look more like actual flowers, some not so much, but they are colorful and alive. They fill me with a sense of joy and I hope they do the same for you. Most of the time I just paint from my imagination, but for one of these I did look at some actual mums for inspiration. Flowers are truly magic.

Miscellany
In this gallery I have a variety of things… from a sun & moon, animals in different seasons, cats and dogs wearing fancy attire, some of my original flower people in front of a flag… you name it. Once again it’s just me following my flow and wherever inspiration takes me. I hope you enjoy!
ART~ My greatest passion…
& luckily my main career for the past 30-some years. I try to do other things & painting tends to pull me back in and absorb me. When I paint I truly feel like I’m quickly in “the zone”, where time moves differently… usually too fast, but there’s such a unique flow to it. I can definitely get lost in there, but so love the journey.

A potential blog could be coming
I forget how much I love to write… almost as much as I love to paint. I’m not quite sure exactly what I’ll talk about, but I do know that I’m interested in so many things. Besides art, I love animals (I’m also a pet-sitter) & being a vegan. I love plants & nature & I’m interested in meditation, Buddism, kindness, compassion, and being consciously aware.
So, this is a potential blog a coming… we’ll see. I have a lot on my plate already.
