      "Emily created a beautiful painting to accompany my short story in a journal. I was astonished when I first saw it by how well it matched the setting and details of my story, which takes place in an Italian hotel room. Her use of color and light is extraordinary. It’s an absolute delight to look at, and it adds another dimension to my story, another way in."
