Emily attended Academy of Art University in San Francisco. While in school she got a job and found an apartment on her own in Oakland, a city that she always had fond memories of and close to her hometown of San Lorenzo. Her time at the Academy was spent studying dark subject matter, the human form, and conceptual thinking. She has done series on demons, figures in mythology, and honoring victims' of Serial Killers. Now after graduating in 2016, Emily has dived into a new series about the world of Heavy Body Modification and Human Suspension. A subculture that has always fascinated her since the first time she entered a tattoo shop at the age of six, to watch her parents get tattoos.
