BIO:

Emery   Franklin grew up in an impoverished area in South Memphis. The youngest  of six children, he always aspired to be an artist. His first realization of his artistic talent was realized when he attended Vance Junior High School in Memphis. His art teacher would assign him projects  to create drawings and paintings that were used to teach his classmates  the techniques and skills of creating art.

Throughout   Emery’s years of drawing and painting, his artwork has become an  expression of his rich cultural heritage. There are certain principles  that Emery has carried throughout his life that have greatly influenced his work. He believes God has guided his hands, as he always prays  before starting each new creation. His family values are deeply rooted  in religion, trust, and honesty.

Emery  has always felt he needed to give something back to the community. He  feels that young people need a positive role model, so he likes to spend  time motivating and encouraging youths by setting a positive example  for them. With this type of enthusiasm, they realize all their dreams  are reachable with prayer and dedication. As an artist, he loves to draw  and paint beautiful people and places that touch the heart and soul of  the collector. .
