Art is an experience
Abstraction overcomes the barriers of language and sound. Each work is a world of its own. Movement, line, and paint thickness are all ways the artists invites you to connect with unspoken feelings and experiences. Let the movement and paint thickness be sensory and engaging. Put a canvas on a blank wall and watch the room transform into a whole new world.

About the artist
mEET emily
Emily Mihalik is an American painter with an international background. Growing up between Santa Barbara and London, her work is a testament to her appreciation of culture and place.
Her current body of work is closely inspired by her experiences as a Fulbright Research Fellow in Kazakhstan and by her deafness. For Emily, abstraction overcomes the barriers of language and sound. In her own words, the artist defines her work as " a dialogue between opposites. By forcing unlikely elements to converse together on the canvas, they become harmonious." Deafness allows Emily to appreciate the phenomenological potential of painting. To her, paint thickness is an invitation for the viewer to physically enter a painting. Her large scale multidimensional paintings are a stimulating sight. The process of viewing these works is akin to listening to music. It does not come as a surprise that viewers express a desire to touch the paintings and describe them as being "alive."
