"I saw your painting of 'The Captive' inspired by Joseph Wright's painting of the same name some years ago and have never forgotten it. I'm not an 'art' person but this painting still haunts me."

"classic is present"

"Emma,I am mesmerized by your work. Your paintings have that very special something that keeps drawing me back."

"Emma-FANTASTIC WORK!!! You rock, gal.....:>)"

"Outstanding. She shows the deep sadness, the maybe hidden hurts, of people. If the second painting was meant to be a pieta, it works."

"Nice modern vision on classical subject matter. I can really appreciate your vision."

"Lots of emotion shown in these paintings. In content and by the artist."

"The man on the steps painting blows me away!! The emotions he seems to be feeling and thinking jumps out at you. Makes you want to reach out and stroke his face-let him know things will be alright!! I agree with the last comment-you have touched my soul also, and I'm sure many more!! What a gift!!"

"Interesting takes on Michelangelo's Pieta and thinker... however i could do without the tribal tattoos, it is dating the pieces and boxes the painting into a specific time in modern culture instead of letting you think of this piece as existing at any moment in time."

"Emma's painting are really breathtaking, beside the value it preserves the continuation of realism"
