After receiving a degree in Food Studies from NYU, Emma immediately jumped into the world of events, which swiftly led her to the city of Austin. Emma produced events in the Austin area for several years until 2021, when she had her first child. In 2022, utilizing her skills as an event planner, she honed in on one of her many passions, creating artful charcuterie spreads, and turned a longtime hobby into a business: Gather Grazing Co. was born! Purveyor of artisanal earthly delights, she calls this art form “painting with food”. Emma also relishes in creating community in her volunteer role as Chair of the Friends of Patterson Park organization.

On a rainy afternoon at the cozy off-grid community property Whit built, I asked him to tell me the Bobo story—a fan favorite of readers of my book. My favorite takeaway from this story is the connection to nature. As I say in Like the Sun at Midday: “Bobo showed him that humans are not separate from the Earth or the other creatures that live on it. Early on, Whit understood that humankind's place in this world is not at the top of the evolutionary pyramid as a dominating ruler. Rather, we are just one, beautiful branch of the expansive tree of life.” For more creative musings, come hang out with me on instagram @amyinfullcolor Discover more about me and my work: amyinfullcolor.com
