About Emily and the Arts
Hi there, I'm Emily.
I am an artist, art historian, and archaeologist who paints in oil and watercolor, sketches in pen, and dreams of someday sculpting in marble. Currently a high school history teacher, she earned a Ph.D. in Roman Art History and Archaeology with a special focus on the study of materials that closely informs her creative endeavors. Her artworks explore color and texture to bring to life the experience of a moment, decisively framed. Each painting vivifies a memory from her research sojourns through Europe or reflects on the vibrancy of locales closer to her home in Port Chester, as she explores the resonance of emotions in form and material.
