Emily Piper lives in Westford, Massachusetts on a 250 year-old farm with her husband, Eric, their dog, three cats and a flock of hens. Before moving to the New England countryside, Emily lived in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and in Chicago, Illinois after graduating from Allegheny College with a BA in Theater. In her professional career, she has taught a myriad of classes and workshops for children and adults including Junkbox Puppetry, Animal Masks, Go Green!, Mural Art, Creative Dramatics and more. She is excited to bring her unique brand of grassroots creative education to Westford families.
Emily has never been content to follow only one dream. Besides being an educator, Emily is also a recycled artist. Her motto is, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Redecorate!” She paints on old chairs, doors and many other unique objects. Her work can be seen everywhere from garden sheds to posh city apartments. She continues to practice painting on all sorts of surfaces and many different subjects from dinosaurs to French fashion.
Finally, Emily is a performer. She produces concerts of many types—usually involving music and orations of past eras. She is very excited to produce shows in the region using local talent. If you pass by a farmhouse with a girl on the porch painting on a door humming an old tune with a big dog at her feet, you probably have seen Emily. Stop by, have a cup of tea and check out her Rumphius Recycled Outhouse Gallery.
