Three's a Crowd - Recent Paintings at AS220

Emily currently has a show of new paintings at AS220.  The show runs from November 1st to November 28th in the Main Gallery on Empire St.  There will be a reception on Sunday, November 1st, from 4-7 PM.

Pawtucket Arts Collaborative

Emily had two paintings in the annual members' show at the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative this past summer.  Also, three of Emily's paintings were accepted to the annual open juried show of the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative last September.  Thanks to all who came to see the shows!

More New Website Features

A new feature has been added - Page View and Blog View.  In Page View, the paintings are arranged on a page, usually three across.  This works well on computer screens set at a high resolution, but at lower resolutions, the page needs to be scrolled horizontally.  Look for the robot icon   and click on it, and the paintings will be rearranged in a vertical row, as in a blog - no more horizontal scrolling!  The thumbnails will work in either view.  Click again to get back to the Page View.

This website has now been enabled for PicLens.  PicLens is a very cool browser add-on (for IE, Firefox, and Safari) for viewing images.  It can be downloaded for free here.  After installation, your browser will sport a new toolbar button that can be clicked to launch the PicLens viewer, which will work on the pages with the PicLens badge  .

And we'd like to remind you about our large image pop-ups.  This feature applies to about three dozen images, mostly of the newer work.  Beneath each of these images, after its title, there appears a symbol:  [+] .  This symbol is a link (try it!)  If you click on it, a new window will pop up, displaying a larger image of that painting.  (You may recognize these larger images from Emily's painting blog.)

Emily's Painting Blog

There's another way to view Emily's paintings:  Emily Lisker Paintings, the blog!  As Emily finishes new paintings, they will be posted in the blog first, before being cataloged in this site.  The blog postings include short commentary (by Bill) in the context of Emily's other paintings.  Have a visit!

Recent Paintings at GiGi's

Over a dozen of Emily's recent paintings are now on display at GiGi's Global Specialty Art in Woonsocket.  Visit and say hello to GiGi!

Teaching at the Beacon School

Last year, Emily was hired to be a part-time artist-in-residence at the Beacon Charter School for the Arts in Woonsocket.  You can read about some of her experiences and thoughts in her blog, The Urban Mermaid (check the archives for Nov 07 - Apr 08).

New Website!

A few years ago, Planet Emily was constructed as Emily's main website, and this portfolio site was quickly assembled later as an offshoot.  The intention now is to present this site as Emily's main site, and to keep Planet Emily as an illustration/special project site.  We hope you enjoy the new layout - comments are welcome!
