About

Growing up in the West, I have always been drawn to sea and mountains, and to the work of artists who have interpreted these subjects. Today I find further motivation in the many new and expanding ideas about art, from representation to abstraction.

My concern is not with copying what I see, but with expressing a feeling, a story or a visual idea. And I hope this produces work that evokes in the viewer a feeling of shared experience and a deeper connection with the natural world.

About

“I paint whatever I see that is striking…something that takes my breath away.”

While Emilee admires watercolor pieces done in soft, light washes, she goes for “the gusto” and drama of bold, colorful artwork. Due to the vivid colors, many who view her work at first think the medium must be acrylic….and now she also uses acrylics in her “Paint Pouring” art pieces as well. Emilee accepts custom orders, and also specializes in personal paintings for her clients. These pieces are called “Favorite Things”. The piece is composed of the recipient’s….favorite things. Retired after over 30 years with the Walt Disney Co., Emilee lives and paints in Anaheim, California.

She is a published artist, a Board Member and Juried Exhibitor at Laguna Art-A-Fair in Laguna Beach, a Juror, an Art Demonstrator and conducts Watercolor and Paint Pouring workshops and lessons at Laguna Art-A-Fair, Art Supply Warehouse/Catalyst and in her Anaheim studio. Emilee is a member of Watercolor West, Spark OC and Orange County Fine Arts Association. Emilee’s artwork is available at the Quorum Gallery located in Laguna Beach, CA.

About

I have been a film photographer for 50 years and I still shoot with film. The majority of my work is with large format cameras 4�x5� and larger. Over the years I learned how to developed all my own film both B&W and E-6 color transparency film with a Jobo CPP2 processor which I still use today. I have always done my own printing, framing and matting. In 2018 I decided I wanted to step back in time and learn how to print using one of the alternative printing processes from the 1800‘s. I finally decided on Platinum/Palladium prints. The beauty of these prints still makes me smile! Each print is handmade and an original. No two prints are ever the same.
