P'Emily's father, Leonard Clopton - musician artist, first introduced her to art. He emphasized the importance of focusing on an image primarily; then design, layout and execution. Work it out first in your head and then get it down as paper and canvas are limited and expensive. Essence of the horse moves through much of her art. A line swells in girth and comes to life; an allegory, symbol.

Horses like to be brushed, indeed.
