Workings: Paintings by Jill Emery

Jill Emery

Artist’s statement:
original art that has a story whether told or interpreted

my process in painting has been to think about words in a poetic/symbolic/spiritual sense its a two part process, it’s free flowing and completely cathartic. as i get older i realize i have grown tremendously strong feelings for animal rights and kindness in general.
