Emily Funkhouser is an artist and educator. She holds a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from the Gallatin School of New York University, and an Ed.M. in Arts in Education from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. Additionally, she has studied at some legit institutions including Parsons, Spéos, Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, Rhode Island School of Design, and SRGN Academy of sneaker decon/recon.
In parallel to traditional studio practice, Emily has spent over a decade leveraging visual and poetic languages as modes of expression, understanding, and advocacy within the realm of education. Google has generously employed her since 2008, during which time she has offered consultation, facilitated workshops, designed physical learning spaces and materials, and created publications and exhibits.
Emily’s body of work is informed by long walks in the wilderness; dialogues with nature which she translates into paintings, ceramics, and other somewhat functional objects. She seeks juxtaposition and lives a life of liminality in Northwestern Connecticut.
