I think this is a nice personal gallery. As a professional illustrator with a masters in fine art, I think I can offer some suggestions to improve your work even more. There are some simple things you can do with presentation to make your work appear better online and in an electronic portfolio.
I noticed with several paintings, such as the one with the woman and the snake and the "Who is the Beast" painting, that the photo was not taken straight, and thus you can see past the edges of the painting. A good way to photograph work is to set it completely vertical and make sure when you photograph it that the angle of your lens is completely parallel to the surface of the painting. Also, taking the photo outdoors in the shade with reduce glare and give more accurate colors. Avoid flash, as this washes out colors and can create glare.
With skintones, don't be afraid to use more colors than shades of orange, yellow, and brown. Especially with watercolors, you can get very rich skintones by adding purple and blue into the shadows, and watered down reds and even greens into the middle tones. The woman with the snake has very interesting skin tones, and I'm glad to see you used a non-traditional tone for her skin. The purples work very well, especially with the subject matter.
That said, I was quite impressed with your photography. You have a good eye for lighting and composition. Try to incorporate that same sense into your paintings, and I think you will have even better work.
If you have any questions, please reply and I will do my best to answer them.

I love your art work! You have the makings of an early Tim Burton. The composition if most of all your art work is very impressive. You have a great use of color as well. I have been a painter for about 20 years and never seen something so innovative. You still need to tame some loose ends but I can see that you will be a most promising artist.
Ps all great art works are hated at first.. this other woman is an idiot with no formal knowledge of art. she seems like a jealous little girl.

You are a great artist at a young age. I am eager to see what the future holds for you. I also love the poem about Alex. He will be back for his sister.

Impressive work Emily. You have a great eye for composition - as evident in your Arnoff photo. Keep up the great work!
