Originally from Roseburg, Oregon, Emily earned her BFA in ceramics from the University of Wisconsin in 2001. The summer of 2002 took her to the Archie Bray Foundation where she is currently working as the Gallery Director. The past five years Emily has explored different forms while challenging herself to constantly find new patterns and colors within the theme of dots that dance across her wares. Emily creates her ceramic art at her home studio in Helena, Montana.
