Scene by Rhys Fine Art - Emilie Rhys
performances . Starting at one festival , Emilie can finish up to two or three performances that evening . She has become a fixture in the Royal Street art world , and her gallery at 1036 Royal St . will be by-appointment only for a portion of the summer . You can visit her website to make an appointment : scenesbyrhys . com . Every good thriller flick has a complementary soundtrack , and there ’ s no better player than Rhys to provide that , capturing the sounds of our lives as locals in a city known for its impressive beats .
Sometimes when you look at a place and you are asked to see what ’ s there , we stop at the surface . We focus on the things that make the place shine , and often those things tend be the flashiest or the most lucrative . But when we peel back the glitz and the grit , we truly see the real all-star cast : those who take the time out of their day to make our days a little brighter and make us a little happier and a little better than we were before we met them . Just as Pamela Sue Martin ’ s red short-shorts made a rogue wave a tad less of an issue , these Royal Street all-stars join the lengthy list of personalities who take an otherwise ordinary place and make it so much more than simply extraordinary .
