Emily was born in 1943 on Kurvigual Island near Pelly Bay, and has lived both in Repulse Bay and Pelly Bay, Nunavut. Her work is most often composed of arrangements of delicately carved figures and animals; from simple scenes of animals in their natural environments, to large intricate renderings of traditional domestic life in the arctic.
Her work is included in the collection of the Eskimo Museum in Churchill, Manitoba; the Inuit Cultural Institute in Rankin Inlet; the Klamer Family collection in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto; the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre in Yellowknife; the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery and the Winnipeg Art Gallery as well as countless private collections the world over.
