current work
Emily is an emerging artist working in oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink and paper collage. With no experience or training, Emily unexpectedly took up making art in 2016 at age 37, and has since sold more than 150 paintings. Emily favors highly abstracted, color-drenched works centered around her core interests: Story, home, animals and the environment, justice, mystery, wildness.

I was never not a writer and always knew I would work professionally as a writer.
How it started
Emily is an award-winning former journalist living near Charlotte, N.C. Her work appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Reuters, and several other places.
She is a proud former staff reporter for the Chicago Tribune and the Charlotte Observer. Emily contributed reporting and writing to projects named a finalist for the Pulitzer prize in 2008 and winner in 2015. You can find some of her recent clips FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, REUTERS, etc, here
Favorite investigative topics included the legal system and wrongful convictions, uses of public money, sustainability and consumerism, gender, religion, and profiles of people doing all sorts of interesting things. Her work directly contributed to two men being released from incarceration, including the case of Floyd Brown.

But his nomination was quickly dismissed, disappointing dozens of his supporters carrying signs in the audience. Some Council members said even talking about Mr. Mitchell as a candidate could be too suggestive of turmoil at a time when the city needs unity.
