Art and Whatnot
Emmy Says...
My art is more often done with intention than not. I go to the canvas with purpose rather than flow, though perhaps this is likely to evolve. Knowing this, I feel a sense of achievement when something is complete, whether or not it actually manifests into the initial vision. Reflective of an emotional process as well as a creative one, there is a symbolic quality to my work, almost always having a theme or some meaning I am aware of, rendering very personal pieces. I have had to accept, adjust and indeed, welcome the notion that one never knows what appeals to another with art. That is to say, a piece may not be appreciated for what I set out for myself in painting it, yet appreciated nonetheless, and that fact is thrilling to me because essentially I can succeed and fail simultaneously.
