About:

Emma is a mixed media artist that enjoys using the creative process as a form of experimentation and play. She spends a lot of her free time in her home studio creating art and listening to music. Lately, she has been interested in exploring visual journaling. Emma loves many genres of music but has a soft spot for prog and classic rock. She values moving her body and can often be found at the gym, doing yoga, rollerblading, or walking her dog. Emma also loves being outdoors whenever possible, taking any opportunity to watch the birds, lay in her hammock, or do some gardening.

Education and training:

Emma received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Illinois State University in 2018. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling at West Liberty University. She is currently a practicum student and will transition to internship in 2027. In her role as a graduate-level student intern at CHAT, she will be supervised by Karli Johnson, LCPC ATR-BC, and Jenn Lanning, ATR.
