Artists for Animals

Our artist of the month is EMily Nomer

Emily worked for 40+ years in the design business, owning a company designing and manufacturing one-of-a-kind furniture for architects and designers in New York City. But she has been a visual artist since she could first hold a crayon.

In 2016, she was finally able to attend art school, and earned an MFA from State University of New York at New Paltz in 2018. In 2022, she retired from her business and has devoted herself to her art full time. She lives near New Platz, NY with her son and three cats (one of whom is a UCSPCA alum).

She holds a BA from Vassar College in Classical Greek, and an MA in the same from the University of London, which she attended on a Maguire Fellowship. Her diverse artistic influences include Hellenistic pottery, the Pattern & Decoration Movement, Bauhaus designers and Russian constructivists, among many others. Her work can be seen at www.etnomer.com or on IG at @EmilyTNomer.

Our Artist for Animal’s work is available for purchase, with a percentage of the profits going to the Ulster County SPCA. To purchase a piece of art, please call our office between 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM (or leave a voicemail any time) at (845) 331-5377 x210. Purchase can be made over the phone, or at the scheduled pick up time.

The project is an effort to merge the animal community with the growing art community in the Hudson Valley and has been very successful since its inception. The UCSPCA works closely with local artists, allowing them to display their work in the shelter for one month. Each month the featured artist displays their work at the shelter and proceeds from the sale of their work comes back to the animals.
