Emily wears many hats including workshop administrator for the NETI team. If you have questions about events, tickets, billing or anything related to the workshops, she is the key person to contact.

When she isn't organizing things for NETI workshops or maintaining the NETI website, she spends the bulk of her time making art. She works in fused glass and travels throughout the midwest to juried art shows. She has been an invited artist at the Hosta Society of Indianapolis annual plant sale and leaf competition, Art in Bloom in West Lafayette and is sought after for her custom art tiles, garden art and pet memorial portraits. You can see her website by clicking "Ohland Studios" above. Emily is a one woman show so she manages all aspects of her art business including marketing, web store and site maintenance, social media, show applications, and the most important part....making the art!! She is the former owner of Uniquely Yours Pottery and Glass, a paint your own pottery and glass fusing brick and mortar entertainment venue. She managed a staff of 10 employees and as sole proprietor was responsible for all aspects of running that business. 

Her musical training and background keeps her busy as well singing soprano with the Lafayette Master Chorale in the choir and occasionally as soloist. She has sung in auditioned choirs in every community she has resided in and has done solo work with Central Florida Symphony Chorale, Willis Bodine Chorale, Greater Anderson Musical Arts Consortium and the Greenville Chorale.
