An interdisciplinary artist and higher education professional weaving social justice and (re)clamation into everything she creates. From her connections to Guatemala to Providence, Rhode Island - their roots play a large role in the way they approach their practice.

Her artistic practice currently lies with self-portraiture as a way to process, empower and understand her place within split worlds and an ever-changing political environment. This intimate exploration marked by divided faces, sacred symbolism and emotional archaeology has become the foundation for a broader multidisciplinary practice.

In addition to her creative work, Emelia has over 5+ year in higher education focusing on multicultural education through art and design and student success/advocacy. During her professional career she also gained experience in the nonprofit sector building specialized educational curriculum, working with at-risk youth, and grant writing.
