Emily seeks to connect her passion for the arts to the community's needs through her active participation in the Columbus arts community as well as specifically through her role and position as the Arts Coordinator for the City of Upper Arlington.

During her years at Hope she was a Phelps Scholar, Gospel Choir singer and completed three off-campus programs. Emily studied abroad during her junior year in London, England through (IES) taking classes at the UCL Slade School of Fine Art and completed three art internships in New York City, that included interning with artists Debra Goertz and Katrin Sigurdardottir as well as with the non-profit arts organization Arts Start during her senior year through the GLCA's New York Arts Program.

The act of communication is very similar I believe to the act of viewing through art. Communication occurs when there is a speaker and someone to listen in the same way the concept of the viewing process is experienced by both the viewed and the viewer, one never experienced without the other, connected equally important. Through this body of work I explore the human figure in the context of meaning derived from a dialogue between the juxtaposition of a created visual language through satellite images of the earth, the ambiguity of perspective and viewpoint and materials. These works are titled with specific coordinates indicating location. These specific locations abstracted indicate real tangible space, land and terrain in which people unseen to the naked eye exist, thrive, create and destroy under the gaze of a global perspective where the earth and all that is created therein completes a larger greater design and purpose. Throughout my body of works from drawings to paintings, abstract sculptures and installations, to artistic collaborations, I seek the intersection of the organic human experience and meaning derived from life both personal and collectively shared.
