I was the featured artist for this month’s issue of Fort Wayne Home Magazine.
“Emily Boller derives some of her love of expressionistic landscape painting from childhood flights she took in her father’s plane. ‘Every Sunday morning, when it was nice weather, we took off,’ she said. Boller started painting murals when she was 16 and had a full-fledge mural-painting business before she’d graduated from high school. But a blunt assessment of her work from legendary Purdue University professor Al Pounders almost derailed her. Eventually, Pounders became one of Boller’s most important mentors. Boller continued to paint while raising five children. An artistic exploration of body image and weight loss went viral and the aftermath of the project almost consumed her. Now, at age 65, she feels like she is just getting started. ‘My whole goal is that I want to live to be 100, because I feel like my best years are ahead.’”
Emily Boller, wife, mother, artist, and author is on a mission to create expressive works of art in her lifetime; and to bring awareness to the potentially harmful traps of diet-wellness culture. In her free time, she loves to chase sunrises, grow flowers and vegetables, and can homemade soups.
