// Every month, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine chooses one of our favourite creative movers and shakers to TAKE OVER our social media for the day. This month, we have chosen the President & Creative Director of @raymarpanels fine artist materials, @emiliecdietrich! From an early age, Emilie was always wildly creative and had a passion for fashion and interior design. Like many creatives, however, she was discouraged from pursuing a career in the arts with the usual, “You’ll end being a starving artist.” She followed the conventional route and graduated from the University of Notre Dame’s business school. Emilie then worked as a foreign exchange and commodity broker with the Chicago Board of Trade. Financially successful yet creatively stifled, she knew she wasn’t living a life meant for her. She left finance in search of a more authentic, artistic life, ultimately attending Parsons School of Design in NYC. Life dramatically changed for Emilie in 2008 when she was called to carry on her father’s legacy after his unfortunate passing. She took up the reins of RAYMAR and grew the company into what it is today. She is passionate about crafting the highest quality art panels that serve as the foundation for one’s artwork. When she’s not running RAYMAR, you will find Emilie painting with watercolors, portrait modeling for artists, playing classical piano, or collecting her next passport stamp. ... Hello, all you Beautiful Bizarre followers! It’s an honor to share various personal creative inspirations that have played a role in my own artistic journey. As an artist and creator of RAYMAR fine art materials, it is my mission to empower artists with the tools and inspiration to bring their creative visions to life. Ultimately, I hope to add more beauty and meaning to the world with art. Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @emiliecdietrich (President/Owner of @raymarpanels) •••
