Artist: Emily BradleyShe/Her/Hers

Aritistic Discipline: Visual
Location: Saint Maries, ID

Emily Bradley is a fiber artist known for her whimsical, animal-inspired sculptures made from wool felt. Blending soft textures with structured forms, Emily creates hand-stitched characters that evoke curiosity, warmth, and a touch of storytelling. Each piece is built entirely by hand—no molds or machines—using natural wool, wire armatures, and traditional fiber techniques.

With a background in both craft and arts advocacy, Emily’s work is deeply rooted in a respect for the handmade. Her sculptures celebrate the expressive nature of animals—both real and imagined—and are often infused with gentle humor and quiet personality.

Emily’s work has been exhibited in galleries, juried art festivals, and private collections across the U.S. She lives and creates in the American Southwest, where the natural world continues to inspire her one-of-a-kind pieces.
