Painton Gallery "I wondered if he really found himself amusing, or if it was just a pose he had adopted to mask the emptiness of his soul." - Dreaming in French, M. M Posted at 4:43 AM Dec 8 view more
About me: "What I love most about painting is that it gives me the ability to reimagine the world in the way I wish it were. To create a reality that is more interesting to me."
"If I have learned anything from my study of art history, it is that you don't make art to make money, you make art because you can't help yourself."
Emily Painton grew up in Norman Oklahoma. By the age of eight she was sitting in on art history classes with her mother at the University of Oklahoma, and at fourteen she began a series of art saturated journeys to Europe.
While earning her BFA in Art History and Photography at OU she furthered her studies and travels, spending an extended period studying in Paris, where she had easy access to works by many of her favorite artists. She also fell in love with the city’s architecture, history, art and culture. She spent a summer in New Orleans at the age of twenty, photographing the city and living and working in the French Quarter.
After graduating college in 1995, she moved to Austin Texas, where she continued to dabble in painting, drawing and photography, while also trying to make a living. In 2000, she once again moved to New Orleans to accept a full tuition scholarship to earn an MA in Art History at Tulane University. She concentrated her studies in the area of 19th Century French art, which culminated in her thesis titled “A Break with the Tradition of Ingres and Degas: Toulouse-Lautrec’s Humanizing Vision of the Women of the Maison Close.”
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina pushed Emily back to Austin Texas, where she happily resides at present.

Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within. ~Claudia Lady Bird Johnson
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication. ~Friedrich Nietzche
Art is not a thing, it is a way. ~Elbert Hubbard
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television. ~Woody Allen
Works of art are all that survive of incredibly gifted people. ~Peter C. Wilson
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. ~Vincent van Gogh
To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from it's exterior, shines with the truth within the soul. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people. ~Vincent van Gogh
The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without the work. ~Emile Zola
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for it's conquest. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is the most intense mode of individualization that the world has known. ~Oscar Wilde
