	The Four Directions Of Anthony Chee Emerson's Art.		The whimsical and free falling designs and patterns come alive to express the Navajo Spirituality. The West which represents our family growth and maturity. The Abstraction stylization is the source of inspiration that comes from a higher spirit. The imagination is a gift and a blessing, we use this blessing as we would sing a song or say a prayer.
	. The Four direction defines Navajo Philosophy, the East, South, West and North. These Directions symbolize concepts of Thinking, Colors, Seasons, Life , Elements, and times of day, Stones and our Four Sacred Mountains, which within this area we are at peace within ourselves. Anthony Chee Emerson has taken these concepts and translated them to his art. The East where all things begin represents the traditional stylization where Family and life experiences are interpret into Folk-Art painting with intense colors. They often depict the times of yesteryear as if seen through the eyes of a child. The South is the developmental stage of life. That is where the contemporary stylization comes from.		The North is usually depicted as winter or old age. In his early paintings Mr. Emerson showed landscapes, portraits and wildlife. He has returned to these roots to complete the four directions of Art. Anthony resides in Kirtland, New Mexico with his wife, Michele, and their two children, Zachary and Cheyanne. Zachary's interests are in math and science,  Cheyanne's interests are art softball  and her friends.  Anthony encourages them both to paint resume
