Emily is a young creator with an interest in and appreciation for a variety of art and media. Her artwork includes the creation of digital art pieces, traditional animation, photography, and the development of video compositions. She will continue on to post-secondary studies at Durham College with a focus on video production and animation. She hopes to build her career around the art of storytelling through visual mediums.

The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Scholarship for Art Education was set in 2010 after the passing of Ian Butler, a founding member of the Pumphouse. The purpose of the fund is to support an annual scholarship award to a deserving NOTL graduating high school student pursuing a recognized post-secondary visual arts program. From the fund, a $200 scholarship will be awarded each year to a selected student.
