Dale Emmart

Artist Resume
 

A rural Pennsylvania and urban New York City artist, Emmart’s paintings of rolling dairy country and her large abstract drawings reflect both of her home environments. Landscape painting is Emmart’s means of closely observing and recording the historical, eternal, agrarian land that is under environmental change. Her large drawings’ use of cage-like structures, tangled ribbons, shadows, and smoke-like washes suggest additional causes of unrest and tenuous balance. Horizons suggest a place where change occurs. Both Emmart’s landscape paintings and abstract drawings puzzle over a perceived cusp of change, a transition between different states.

Born in New York City, the artist’s resume includes an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA from Cooper Union School of Art. She has been awarded many fellowships and grants and currently works as the head of the art department at the Brearley School in New York City. Her work has been shown in numerous New York City galleries, including The Painting Center,A.I.R., and Kouros Gallery, as well as solo and group shows at the John Davis Gallery in Hudson, New York and in various venues in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and in France. The artist also runs a plein air program in Portugal (pleinairportugal.com).

We are excited to show Emmart’s work at the Lodge Gallery for the second time. Witness the poignance of loss and beauty infused in layers of land, sky, and cloud formations, in farms, fields, and streams near the artist’s rural Pennsylvania home.
