Emiliya Lane


I'm a mother, an artist, a thinker and a meditator. Iam a pragmatic idealist and romantic dreamer. Complex but with simple needs, I am in constant search for balance, beauty and harmony. I'm growing, evolving into my true self more every day.....

Painting became both a profession and an obsession! The subtle effects of light upon a form or capturing the emotion of a very simple moment on canvas never fails to amaze me. Repin, Levitan, Sorolla, Serov and Korovin have been my biggest influences."Emiliya is affiliated with the Oil Painters of America, Portrait Society of America and the American Impressionist Society.She is represented by frankanddunya.com, Kronos Gallery and Vernissage Gallery at Seattle Design Center
