About
Emily Meisler is a sculptor who uses metal, clay, and other media to create work that draws inspiration from the landscape that surrounds her. She received degrees in Studio Art and Psychology from the College of Charleston and an M.F.A. with a concentration in sculpture from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has received numerous awards through multiple national exhibitions and she has work in private collections internationally.
