In 2009, Emelie retired from a career in business and education.  Always finding time throughout her life to study both art history and different art mediums, she dreamed of being an artist.  Whenever possible she took art classes at both the college and community recreation levels.  Emelie studied Surface Design for three years at the California School of Professional Fabric Design.  She discovered glass as a perfect medium for continuing her life's journey.  Emelie, and her husband Dale, collaborate on designs in wood, metal and gems.
