Emily is a Tucson native who didn’t realize how much she loves beautiful Arizona until being gone way too long. After undergraduate studies at Rice University, including a semester at the University de Chile, Santiago, and one in Costa Rica she spent some time gathering perspective and seeing the world by sampling Central & Eastern Europe and Central America. After living the ski dream in Crested Butte, CO & working as a high school dorm parent, she returned to Tucson for graduate school. With a firm and inspired educational philosophy, she went into the schools as a fledgling in Tanque Verde Schools teaching Spanish and Technology, where she participated in Fulbright Uruguay; then into professional development for Pima County Schools Superintendent’s Office as a Technology Integration Specialist and teacher-trainer. Though certified in CTE (Career & Technical Education) to teach welding, she instead spent her last few years in TUSD and Sunnyside as a technology coach for teachers, a library media specialist and student technology team coordinator. She is now a successful full-time working artist.

Shadow Lights are dynamic art pieces which stand as beautiful sculpture during the day, and extend their reach in the dark casting amazing dancing shadow patterns. Popular installations are clusters of three lights of varying height and assorted styles and heights lining landscape paths.
Each piece is cut with whimsy and an eye for best shadow designs and dynamic dimensions. I follow an organic flow to the rhythm of my music, or the improv comedy I am listening to. Each one is unique and incredibly eye catching in the day and even more so, when the shadows play, at night.
Solar light lids have 8 lumen lights and replaceable rechargeable batteries.
Lights are easily installed into landscaping by driving two pieces of rebar into the ground and sliding the slots inside the Shadow Light over the stakes.
They can be ordered to any height or pattern & can be solar or designed to run on low voltage standard landscape lines.
