Emily is a multi faceted, contemporary artist from Alexander, City AL. She creates in a variety of mixed media, however, is best known for her Encaustic Paintings and her Empowering Womens Portrait Photography.

She graduated from Auburn University School of Art with a BFA in painting and printmaking and also studied abroad at Glasgow School of Art. 

She has exhibited her Encaustic Paintings and Photography professionally since 2002 in the South Eastern United States, United Kingdom, Thailand, Japan, and Doha Qatar. Emily has also enjoyed teaching Encaustic workshops to help others learn the Encaustic technique since 2005.

Emily, with her two daughters, Clover & Loda, recently relocated to their favorite place in the states, Beaufort South Carolina. After big life changes led them to Qatar in 2021, then home to Auburn Alabama for the last three years, coming home to Beaufort has been a dream come true.

She is currently rebuilding her Fine Art Photography & Painting Studio and will resume empowering women, exhibiting her works of art and leading Encautic Workshops starting September 2025.
