Emily was born in the Midwest, but
has lived in diverse areas such as Utah, Alaska, Arizona, Seattle and Hawai‘i. 
Her work has always been inspired by
the natural world, and by birds in particular.  Since movingto Hawai‘i in 1998, her work has focused mainly on birds and plants found in the Islands.

She currently makes her home in Volcano Village, with her husband, Dalyn and is a member of the
Volcano Village Artists Hui. (Hui is the Hawaiian word for organization or association.)  Just a few miles from
Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, Volcano Village is located in the native rain forest at 3800' elevation. 
This forest is home to several native bird species that are still fairly common, including the
‘apapane, whose varied songs can be heard throughout the day from the pottery studio.
