She received her Bachelors of Fine Art Degree from Middle Tennessee State University in 1999 and her Masters of Fine Art from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2001. Her studio practice includes painting, drawing, collage, wood-working, sculpture, puppetry, and book art.
Emily moved to Nashville, TN in 2003 and has been teaching middle school and high art at the University School of Nashville for the past 21 years.
