Emy Ledbetter's paintings are personal adventures in the spiritual world. As a self-taught artist, Emy has been painting for over 50 years and feels the very act of painting itself puts her on a profound spiritual Journey. She has found that the people who are attracted to her work, usually find themselves embarking upon their own spiritual journey.
“As I paint I allow myself to go beyond the normal art expectations, and I begin to truly experiment. The technique I developed helped me open up to my inner teachings. There is an inner truth that is within all of us. The term ‘Spiritual’ means those experiences we have for which there are no words. I was able to tap into this through my work. I am a spiritual painter.“
Emy has developed a mixed-media process on canvas involving acrylics and a resist process that is repeated again and again, layer by layer. Ultimately figures that appear to float in a field of texture and color shimmer into being. It is this illusionary presence that gives her paintings their mysterious appeal.
Few of us are able to share our interior path, so rich in symbols and meanings, yet Emy offers a unique glimpse into a spiritual world of love, light and wisdom through her art.
Collected internationally, Emy Ledbetter is a gifted artist specializing in Angel, God/Goddess, Far Eastern, and Native American paintings.
About Emy’s Earlier Paintings
Emy has been painting for many years and has always been inspired by her surroundings. You can see her paintings take on various tones and colors through the years, depending on where she was living at the time. Emy’s ‘Early Works’ gallery includes many paintings that have deeper and darker tones. These paintings that were done in the 1970’s were inspired by the wooded areas and creeks near where she lived at the time. It wasn’t until she moved to Carmel by The Sea in 1980 where she found herself influenced by the essence of the ocean, creating a lighter palette,
