Emory Nolan is a contemporary oil painter whose work explores stillness, movement, and the emotional resonance of landscape and memory. He works primarily in oil, building layered compositions that emphasize texture, restraint, and the quiet spaces where meaning unfolds.

Emory holds a degree in Graphic Design and spent eight years as Art Director for Neal Auction Company, where he worked closely with fine art, antiques, and museum-quality objects. This experience deeply shaped his eye for composition, craftsmanship, and historical context—informing both his technical precision and curatorial sensibility.

After years immersed in the fine art world, Emory transitioned to painting full time, bringing with him a refined understanding of visual balance and material integrity. His process is intuitive yet disciplined, allowing each piece to evolve organically while maintaining a strong underlying structure.

Based in North Georgia, Emory creates from a rural studio surrounded by fields, waterways, and mountains. This environment continues to influence his work, grounding each painting in a sense of place while leaving space for personal interpretation.
