Emily MacLeod
Her paintings recognize the preciousness of small things and the ordinary miracles she sees around her everyday. Her artwork is a stimulus, calling us to see the beauty of each thing, to increase our awareness of the world not only as it is, but as it could be, would be, or should be if observed closely enough and with that goal in mind.
