Born in 1981, Joshua Alan Emery is an interdisciplinary artist currently residing in northwestern Pennsylvania. Emery's work ranges in media from large-scale interactive multi-media installations to mixed media sculptures and drawings.

Having spent six years traveling the United States as a touring musician while maintaining a marriage and raising two daughters, Emery's work deals primarily with themes of identity, domesticity and personal space. This flux between the security of domestic life and the nomadicism of travel has been central to Emery's explorations of the personal and the professional – the public and the private. Emery's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in museums and galleries including: the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Erie Art Museum, the Sienna Institute of Art, Zhou B. Art Center, the Center for Emerging Visual Arts and many others.
