Emi Shigeno

Emi Shigeno enjoys finding ways to best express palpable light, and is drawn to often-missed beauty in the mundane here & now in the fleeting play of light & shadow, and to imprints of the passage of time in old structures around Chester County. Her works have been recognized nationally in the Plein Air Salon contests and the Oil Painters of America exhibitions, and she has received awards at local festivals and juried shows. Emi also enjoys plein air events where she feels most at home in the natural world. Besides a home studio, Emi also uses a shared studio at Ginkgo Arts in West Chester, PA.
