Comments about the Artist

A-R-T & Associates celebrated its 40th anniversary recently. Undoubtedly the very best part of that landmark is working with Emily for the last 23 years. It is one of those rare business relationships that turned into a beautiful collaborative friendship. Our role in that collaboration has been simple, joyous, and oh so very easy. We introduce people to Emily and they in turn enjoy a lifelong relationship with her and her beautiful art. We have never had to “sell” Emily’s work to our clients. They see it, they like, and they commission one painting or a series for their corporate or private collections.

The real joy is hearing a client talk about Emily’s warmth, talent, and style. She has always been a dedicated artist ready for the challenge of a new commission with an eagerness and creativity I have never seen from anyone else. Her humility and perspective on life, living, and her art are nothing short of spectacular. No other artist has given so much effort and creativity throughout the years. In my business, it is rare to find one great artist in a lifetime. She is my great artist and my dear friend. Who knows that the next 23 years will bring us!

You don’t just love looking at Emily’s paintings, but you actually experience them. This is because of the startling realism she emotes.  You see a bird’s wings in flight, feel the stillness of a pond, hear the quiet of the meadow in bloom… Imagine incorporating the sun glistening on water combined with reflections of boats on a shoreline. Also, her exotic locations carry us directly into the courtyard of a French café or an Italian piazza or a Greek fishing village, each with their own unique ambiance.
