Emily McBride is an artist and craftsperson creating objects and images using repetitive and meditative processes. She is drawn to discarded items and materials, elements that are meant to draw our attention yet they are so commonplace that they no longer do. By altering material and surface, she transforms the residue from urban and natural landscapes into unfamiliar curiosities. McBride earned her MFA in Craft/Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2016 and her BFA in Glass from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in 2009. She resides in Minneapolis, MN.
