Emmett Graham Art
About
Hello my name Emmett Graham, I am based out of Phoenix, AZ. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Painting degree from Arizona State University. I also have additional training from Scottsdale Artist's School. I am able to provide a strong skill foundation and knowledge that will enhance your skill level and creativity and for you to be able to communicate to others without words.
I have always been fascinated with creativity and artistic design. My interest in the arts is strong. The reason I enjoy what I do, is that art provides many different things to an individual, from education to therapy. Art is able to express feelings and provide communication without words. Art allows for an Idea, a story, or a time period in history to be told and expressed, to bring forth an exchange of ideas or a conversation with someone you have just met. All of this is why I enjoy the work I do.
When Emmett Graham's time in Marine Corps was over, he found his passion for art and creativity once again. He uses his time in the military, his travels around the world and experiences as a huge part of his thought process and creativity for his art pieces. His experiences have taught him that learning is a life long process and we must be students at all times. He continues to hone his craft and is honored to bring forth strong images - and his creativity onto the canvas.
