The Story: Artist Emily Glass had a long IT career, putting her passion for art on hold as she climbed the corporate ladder. After the economic downturn caused by Covid-19, Emily was laid off and realized she had lost a part of herself by not pursuing her art and focusing only on work. She asked herself what she would paint if she could paint how she felt... "Societal Expectations" was the result.


Technology is represented by the binary code of 1s and 0s in the background, and the fact she is tied up in network cable. Around her, spilled paint she never got to use. It is the ultimate representation of feeling a prisoner to the corporate grind while putting your creative, imaginative, artistic self aside. It is a story of how important it is to find balance in life.

Add this work of art to your home or office and it is sure to be a conversation piece for years to come!

This large 24x48 inch canvas is unframed on a rear-wrapped professional-grade canvas, with a 1.5-inch depth with painted sides. It is ready to be hung and immediately enjoyed.

Metal prints are also available on this site.
