About the Art: Each year Crow Indians gather near the historic Little Big Horn River for horse races, ceremonial dances and other traditional pastimes. To pay tribute to their ancestors, a few Crow wear native dress for the event. CA member Ken Riley, renowned for his authentic portrayals of Native American people, regularly attends the fair to study crafts and costumes. When he spotted some men on horseback against a tepee’s vivid outlines, he instantly felt the presence of the past, a vision he powerfully conveys. Growing up, the pursuit of art was second-nature for McPhie, who went on to win awards for art in high school and beyond. Emily graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with an emphasis in painting.
Emily currently resides in Chandler, Arizona with her husband Gavin and daughters Cordelia Lavender, Clover Iona and Ezra Petunia. "Motherhood has brought out some pretty strong emotions and ideas," says McPhie. "Translating those thoughts and emotions into images gives me clarity, and I find I want to document them before my perception changes." Her daughters show every sign of following in their mother's footsteps. "Half my studio is theirs," she laughs. "They have their table and their easel and all their supplies. I find that they're in here even when I'm not. They just love it - they're very creative."
