First Friday Artist Ashley Kujat

Over with wanting to take things too seriously, I started creating to make people laugh and to avoid stuffy, uptight artwork. Working with vintage magazine and book illustration and photos is like stepping into a time machine. The essence of vintage imagery and modern thoughts makes for an amusing combo. Through collage, printmaking, painting, and a well placed pun, I like to experiment and make carefree artwork people could relate to.

This exhibit is a collection of watercolors inspired by travels to Europe. The paintings capture some of the unique architecture of Barcelona, Paris, Salzburg and Venice. 

Emily's talent shines through in her beautiful use of light, color and brushstroke; capturing the everyday movements of people in some of Europe's most beautiful cities.  You can find more about Emily and her art at http://www.artbyemilygibbons.com/home
