Titled “Cry Out,” the show represents the deep exploration of the artist finding her voice in watercolor. The paintings she has chosen to share at Pine Rest each encompass a testimony to the omnipresence of the Lord.

Emily Beynon was a member of the Grand Rapids Watercolor Society and now she is on the Advisory Board of City ArtWorks, a non-profit art education organization in Houston.

Beynon graduated from Albion College in Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Studio Art. While enrolled in post graduate studies at Eastern Michigan University in the 1970’s, she studied watercolor and discovered her artistic connection with God.  In the late 1980's Emily earned her Masters in Social Work degree from The University of Houston. Through her work as a clinical social worker she was privileged to be present with people in their suffering, in their struggling, in their hope and in their healing. Out of this profession Emily was given the sight to express the emotional, physical and spiritual depths of the human experience through her paintings.
