She has received recognition from the National Federation of Press Women, SkillsUSA, and the Boise Squared Photography Contest. In 2017, she was selected for the Boise City Department of Arts & History’s Public Art Academy and was later commissioned to create a permanent piece for the City of Boise’s Traffic Box Project, now located at 16th and River Street. In 2024, Emma was awarded a six-month Show and Tell Artist Residency at CommonWell Studios, funded by the Alexa Rose Foundation. As of 2025, she is represented by Pivot Gallery in Rosseau, Ontario.

In her current work, Emma combines photography’s formal structure with the intuitive disassembly of collage, reconfiguring shape, space, and color—particularly warm tones of orange, yellow, and blue—as a means of exploring personal nostalgia and life’s transitional spaces. Her images, often subject-less, act as quiet meditations on time and perception, inviting viewers into a shared space of reflection and reinterpretation.
