My late Grandmother had this picture and I was keen to have it as a momento of her. However, my cousin got in there first and I have been searching the internet in the hope that I could buy another one. Have you come across any for sale or would you have any ideas where to look?

I have both the poppy nymph and the rose nymph. I too got them from my grandmother and I believe she got them on a trip either San Francsico or San Diego. I have not been able to find out much about the artist and would love to know more. I have the gold ones and have never seen anything written about them. They are only mentioned in silver. I am not sure what type of medium is used but know it does have foil. I wonder how she could have done these in mass. If anyone know's anything about them please let me know.

I have had a 24" x 30" framed matted print of Poppy Nymph since 1978 and have never seen one like it. This is the first time I've ever sat down to look it up on the internet. It's interesting and kind of strange that nobody has information on the artist or the medium used to make it. Does anyone know the value of this?

I have a really nice piece of art by michelle emblem, that was left to me when my grandfather passed. Yet, in all honesty i know nothing about the artist or the painting and can find no information on her, other then she did work in the 20th century. Please if someone could tell me a little.
Thank you!Michelle Emblem 100_0012

Michelle Emblem Empty A Pair of Michelle Emblem artworks in silver

Post by ajlholt Tue Apr 26, 2016 4:44 am

I bought a pair of silver framed pictures in the late 70s or early 80s as I liked the dynamic effect of the reflections off the metal foil and they way they changed with viewing position. It seems there were gold and silver ones although I prefer the latter. I was going to sell them on Ebay when I decided to see if I could find out something about the artist and discovered this forum.

Some pictures are attached to show the detail. Does anyone know where would be the best place to try and sell them?

I have just come across this forum! Michelle and I were best friends from the age of 4! We grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and were together at school. We played at each other houses, we drew together, we danced together. She was a wonderful ballet dancer from a very young age and left our school to train at the Royal Ballet. She left after a few years to become the most wonderful artist, examples of which you are lucky to have. We renewed our friendship once married with children, by which time we had both moved South.
Sadly, she passed away far too young.
I am the proud owner of several of her pieces that she gave me in her latter days...3 paintings, book illustrations etc. I have letters from her written in her teens, and a drawing we did jointly at about 10 years old!

Hi everyone, I just found Poppy Nymph in a thrift store in Florida I paid $10, I knew as soon as I saw it that it was something special. The frame is not my cup of tea so I plan on getting it reframed.
