Emily Peters (EiY) is a sustainable textile, metal, and sound artist who creates with discarded materials using non-toxic and Earth friendly methods, and composes soundscapes that are heavily influenced by nature, non-duality and self inquiry. Her sound practice is an homage to the unfoldment of life, and a translation of sensation into soundscapes. Her formal vocal training started at a tender age, continued intensively through young adulthood, and was reborn later in life through Southeast Asian and Native American chanting, singing and vibrational practices. Subtropical herbalism, permaculture and movement practices also nourish and inform EiY’s work.
Emily was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin and has lived and worked in Miami, Florida for nearly twenty years. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Clothing Design with a minor in Fine Art from University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 2006. Emily is a recipient of the 2025-2026 Miami-Dade Individual Artists Grant and attended the Studio 88 Artist Residency in Doi Saket, Thailand in autumn of 2025. In the coming year, Emily has been selected as a Residency Fellow with Deering Estate (Miami), CollaboARTive (Miami) and La Wayaka (Atacama Desert, Chile).
