About Emi
As a child, my mom taped fine art posters from the National Gallery on our kitchen cabinets. I remember studying the works of Seraut and Monet, John Singer Sargent and LeConte Stewart as I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Thus began my passion for fine art!
I have always been surrounded by art (in one form or another) and that it is part of who I am. My paternal great-grandfather Wayne Johnson was an art teacher in Springville, Utah; Art Supervisor for the Nebo Public Schools, and also department head and curator for the Springville High School Art Gallery for a quarter century. He founded the Spring Salon, which later became the Springville Museum of Art, the oldest museum for visual fine arts in Utah. Three of his original, depression-era paintings (discovered dust ravaged in my grandmother’s attic) hang prominently in my home and remind me of this artistic heritage.
I believe art should ignite our imagination, evoke emotion and/or be personally significant. If it can do all three – whether simultaneously or separately – you’ve found a proven winner!
