Joni Emily, In Plein Sight® 2018
Strolling Among Giants by Joni Emily
Joni Emily, Roxborough CO
It is the transient effects of a scene, the subject’s intent, or the scene’s deeper content that are the inspirations of Joni’s contemporary oil paintings. Joni paints from life, using living models for portraits and figures and natural light for plein air artworks.
An artist throughout her life, Joni’s early inspiration was due to the extremely thorough art education and strong encouragement given by art teacher Jerry Rosenthal. Earning her BS degree from the University of Colorado, Joni has studied art at various universities, and with artists Bruce Vanderwilt, Greg LaRock, and Clayton Beck.
Making the Run by Joni Emily
Joni’s first art career was as a theatre set designer, designing and building stage scenery for dramas, musicals, comedies, and light operatic productions. A performer herself, Joni accesses her theatrical experiences when composing the stories of her paintings. For more information, visit www.joniemily.com.
Joni will be painting in the Open Space Parks as part of In Plein Sight 2018. Come and watch as she creates her lovely renderings of Jefferson County’s public parks, some of the finest in the country.
