About Me 

Hi, I'm Emma (She/Her), a fourth-year Studio Art major and Art History minor at Louisiana Tech University.

As a researcher, artist, and emerging scholar, I am interested in how history, material culture, and environment shape our understanding of place. My work explores the relationships between people, objects, landscapes, and memory, drawing from both hands-on studio practice and art historical research.

Working across sculpture, installation, handmade paper, and mixed media, I am drawn to processes that allow materials to transform through experimentation and time. Some projects begin with archival research, historical narratives, or ecological questions, while others emerge through making and develop as I respond to the materials themselves. In both cases, curiosity serves as my starting point.

Alongside my studio practice, I pursue research in art and architectural history. My interests include material culture, museum culture, authorship, and the ways meaning is shaped through interpretation. These questions inform both my writing and my artistic practice, allowing each to strengthen the other.

Across my work, I am motivated by a desire to understand how layers of history, memory, and environment become embedded within the spaces, objects, and experiences that surround us.

When I'm not in the studio, you'll likely find me outdoors, reading, or exploring somewhere new.

I'm glad you're here.
