About the artist
Member since the very beginning
Texas artist, Emily Smith, is owner and sole proprietor of EmilySmith.com.
EmilySmith.com was established in February of 2000. Her website features an online gallery of her fine art and graphic designs. You can view examples of her faux finishes and decorative painting as well. She does it all. She contracts with local custom homebuilders, interior designers, and homeowners, and just plain art lovers. “Starting my own business is the best thing I've ever done,” says Emily. “It has been an uphill battle to finally immerse myself into what I love to do.” As a mother, Emily can see the the bigger picture easily. “I wanted to set a good example for my son, raise him in an creative environment, and inspire him to think outside of the box.” Emily is a predominantly self-taught fine artist, faux finisher, and decorative painter. As a teenager she won many national awards and contests, one such award was the National Scholastic Gold Key Award for Watercolor. Unfortunately, college was not an option at that time. She moved from Austin to Hawaii where she resided for 10 years. Her son arrived in April of 1993. She attended the University of Hawaii before moving back to Austin in 1998 and starting her business officially in 2000. Now, Emily says “ I'm ready to show the world what I can do!” Look out world.
