Hi, I'm Em from Melbourne and I've been painting for around 25 years as a hobby. More recently I've been painting from a little nook in my garage, more so in the last 3 years. I've sold over 80 paintings to date. What joy it brings to know a home has a piece of me hung up on the wall.
My neighbors have gotten to know me as "the art chick who's garage door is open singing along with her music as she paints". The dogs walking past bark at my own resident dog Rosie who lies next to me listening to me sing, my shirt and pants all covered in different colours of paint. Those who know me, they know that creativity is what makes my heart sing. I'm always dabbling in something, whether it be molding some clay and ceramics with my 9 year old daughter, water colour painting with her, making my own accessories, sewing and even having fun with a bit of DIY makeovers in the house. I'm not happy unless there's a splash of colour nearby.
My 2 kids and husband know this is my happy place. I quit my job last year as a Marketing Manager to paint and write a novel based on my grandparents memoirs. I've never felt more comfortable with the decision to put my corporate career on hold for this. Who knows, I might become an established painter one day and never see corporate world again. Dreams can come true!
