Salt Lake native Emily Klass, following her passions, attended the Rhode Island School of Design for her undergraduate degree. There she studied sculpture, then, went on to build custom bicycle frames. Following her time in Providence, she moved to Brooklyn to gain inspiration and further develop her artistic career. She completed her masters degree at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Two decades after leaving Utah, she decided to move back to the part of the country that so deeply inspires her work and is again living in SLC. Inspired by nature, she creates work that reflects her love of the mountains and deserts found in the Intermountain West.
