Emily Kirksey Amy, Owner/Director

Emily Amy has been a key player in the Atlanta arts scene for the past five years. Emily is well versed in both art history and the fine arts by means of her education in the United States and abroad at institutions including Vanderbilt, Harvard, and the University of Georgia. It was at University of Georgia where Emily pursued her Master’s degree in 20th century American Art. Her passion and knowledge of early and mid-twentieth century modern art, namely Expressionism, Cubism, Constructivism, Abstract Expressionism, and Color Field Painting, have significantly influenced her recruitment decisions, evidenced by the stable of artists at Emily Amy Gallery.

While in graduate school, Emily worked closely with two Atlanta-based galleries, providing her with priceless experience under the direction of some of Atlanta’s most esteemed gallery directors. Upon leaving the University of Georgia, Emily accepted a job at one of Atlanta’s longest-standing galleries and quickly became one of the youngest gallery directors in Atlanta. After gaining substantial knowledge as a director and manager, she decided it was time to follow her dream and open a gallery of her own.

Emily’s warm and welcoming personality will make you feel right at home in her gallery. Furthermore, if you need to call on her for assistance in choosing the perfect painting for your collection, with her knowledge and expertise she will confidently guide you to make the best choice, financially and aesthetically.
