M E E T "M E" (E M M Y)
Hello there! I'm Mary Elizabeth or "ME" (Emmy) an award-winning abstract painter based in New Haven, Connecticut. I exhibit in galleries across the US and my paintings can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide.
My art deliberately draws you in to help improve your mental status and shifts you into a more positive mood. My paintings are like a reset button.
I grew up in Connecticut where my family were early settlers of Puritan New England. I spent much of my childhood exploring tidal pools and untamed forests. My parents encouraged my creativity and I started formal painting lessons at age 8.
It happens in a trance, but the classical techniques are the basis of everything I do. I am obsessed with color and take my cues from the shapes, textures and patterns of nature.
Despite an early start as an artist, I chose a “safe" paycheck as a writer in the investment industry. In 1997, I had life-threatening brain surgery and found my soul’s purpose in art at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Today, I am a member of the Silvermine Art Guild, have done residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Millay Arts and Saatchi.art has named me "one to watch."
I have long-standing collaborations with retail giants Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma and my art has been seen in designer show homes, books, movies and tv shows. My art has been featured in Traditional Home and Coastal Living.
My portolio is available for direct art licensing for hotels, hospitality, corporate offices, healthcare, wellness, media, as well as private residences.
I am active as a motivational speaker and talk often about creativity. I also do live painting events.
