"Poppies"
by Emily Squires Levine

Emily is a polymer clay artist who translates her love of color and pattern into one-of-a-kind 3-dimensional vessels and 2-dimensional wall art. Working alone in a home studio, she blends original color palettes from the primary colors, creates and transforms “canes” using the Italian millefiori technique, and forms her pieces through the juxtaposition of cane slices of contrasting colors, shapes, patterns and open spaces.
Exhibiting at shows, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show, the Smithsonian Craft Show, and at multiple galleries, Emily has received several awards for her work. She was also a lead artist in the global polymer clay collaborative installation “Into the Forest”, exhibited in Pittsburgh and Atlantic City in 2018 and 2019.
Emily has an MBA and worked in the investment advisory industry before pursuing art full-time.
Emily lives in Center City Philadelphia with her husband.

Something magical happens when Sally K. Eisenberg immerses herself within color and movement. She considers herself a lifelong artist, expressing herself through various media, including acrylics, works on paper, collage, mixed media, and photography.
Sally is an outsider artist who grew up in a small town in south central Pennsylvania and has been residing in Philadelphia for over 35 years. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Drexel University and a Certification in Holistic Health Coaching from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia’s Teachers College. Over the last ten years, Sally has melded her passion for nourishing food, healthy lifestyle and art by offering cooking classes empowering others to find the art in preparing nutritious food. When she isn’t in her kitchen, Sally spends a majority of her time in her art studio getting messy and creating.
Her current body of work, Behind Blue Eyes, is made up of acrylic paintings, bringing forth a dance of light, shapes, and color fields.
