Emily uses art to glorify God and she feels His presence most when working in the ceramics studio.

 “Just like God made us out of clay, I make my own creations out of clay. I connect with God in the studio, knowing this is how he has control over our lives. Though I have control over the clay, it sometimes decides to do things on its own, however when it works with me and shapes to the plan I have for it, it becomes something beautiful. The ceramic studio is my resting place where God speaks to me and I can simply dwell with Him.” – Emily

Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. –  Isaish 64:8
