About the Artist
Emily Clare (b. 1954, Cookeville, Tennessee) creates small-scale art that encourages dialogue about the fragility of our environment and the opportunities we have to protect our native plant species from the intrusion of invasive species. Her inspirations come from collecting elements of native, exotic, and invasive plants during nature hikes which she prints and weaves into intimate abstract drawings, mixed media, and collages. Clare majored in fine art at Vanderbilt/George Peabody College, Nashville, TN, and the College of Charleston, Charleston, SC.
