Stuart, Emily

For thirty years Emily Stuart has lived a domestic life in Salem, Oregon, punctuated by several years working for the Oregon Legislature and in the Governor’s Office. After raising two children and establishing a home, she returned to what she has always considered her one and true vocation: that of an artist.

In recent years she has concentrated on bringing into material form the visual concepts that emerge from her fertile mind. These concepts find expression in Emily’s large collection of mundane objects, and in the fact that she is a confessed daydreamer. Nomatter how much she might prefer to splash paint on canvas with wild abandon, she finds herself arranging objects into meticulous and sometimes odd juxtapositions.
