Pix of Toronto

I have seen at least 5 shows in which Emilie has exhibited and the images are many, varied and almost tranquil. It is like looking out on a cool pond with gentle ripples … and then you notice among the soothing, pastel hues a provocative color  or an enigmatic icon:

Yes, the images  have  a sense of humor as well as active, scheming – as if a part of a larger plan or oeuvre.  A visit to her website reveals exactly this – a very novel draughting of the artist’s compartments for  creation. Rooms on a central court … well see it all here – it is well worth the visit.

If you consider some of Emilie’s contemporary paintings, they are have flipped from color and form emerging from a white glaze to more fulsome layerings with bolder plumage:

And the paintings  styling become more immersive :

And there is another one I would like to show you but this digital image caught my eye:

Rather than I leading you astray, let me recommend that you take a walk through Emilie’s website – it is a mazing full of inspirations.
