    Emma Hardy, Biography                                    Other Burning Man Pictures

Here's a picture of Emma from our 2004 Burning Man trip.  She hasn't been dressing up as one of the characters but became a great way to get in on the fun.

Emma's from England originally but has lived in the United States for over 14 years.  The freedom and artistry expressed by the 35,000 folks at Burning Man is exactly the kind of freedom of character that brought Emma to this country in the first place.

She lives in Jamestown, Colorado with her husband David and two boys, Hayden and Henry.  While Emma's been being a mom full time she's also been practicing her art.  The hardest part about describing her as an artist is defining her art.  She's an artist at heart, using all kinds of mediums from the Mad Hatter's paper tape, ceramic tile, clay, glue, paint etc.  She's primarily a sculptor, finding her clearest expression in the molding of form. 

Emma is also a teacher of art.  She pretty much helps whoever asks (and there are many) to develop whatever mask, tile project or other fun.  She teaches classes in mask making to folks in the community and steps in to help the kids at the local school.

Stay posted for more projects and ideas.  She's got plenty.
