An Artistic Eye for Color

Keeping an eye out for the perfect piece to add color and personality to your space? Why settle for a print when you can show off original art for just a little more.

As the daughter of an artist, Emily grew up drooling over art—literally. And if you knew her dad, you’d know there wasn’t room in the family for two artists. That’s why a year after he waltzed into that studio in the sky, she began painting and hasn’t stopped since. Her medium of choice is watercolor. She delights in a tiny dab of liquid that can represent anything from a drop of rain to a tsunami. Like Emily, its transparent softness belies its power. She invites the paint to explore the paper with her—and while she can depict reality with discipline, her abstracts channel energies with equal “realism.” Recent work includes a series of paintings based on images from her poems and incorporates her poetry into the work using various methods.

Her work has been exhibited in France at the Fontenay le Comte Civic Center, August House Gallery and Around the Coyote Fall Festival in Chicago and Refuge in Skokie. She began studying under artist, Ed Hinkley in 2007.

Meanwhile, Emily began designing jewelry. When the selection grew, she began selling them in local shops. She prefers to work with uniquely artful beads and add an innovative design. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes elegant, always stunning. Each piece is affordable, comfortable and one-of-a-kind.
