New Exhibition Opens at Art Gallery 71: "Botanicals & Animals" by Emily Marchesiello

Art Gallery 71 Presents "Botanicals & Animals" by Emily Marchesiello

Emily Marchesiello is a Hudson Valley artist who paints to capture the living spirit — that wild, protective, mysterious energy felt in animals, plants, and the surrounding world. Working in bold acrylics on gesso panel, she loves to layer and blend vibrant color with flowing lines and texture. These pieces carry a sense of guardianship and quiet magic, like the animals that are watching over people and the plants that are pulsing with their own secret light.
