Emme Nye is a visual and materials artist with over a decade of experience working with children and six years as a mother—a journey that began during Treefort 2019, when walking between venues sent her into labor with her firstborn. Emme has a passion and knack for bringing to life the raw creativity children so naturally possess. Inspired by nostalgia & bright color, as an artist herself she has made sustainability a pillar of her work, working to reduce unnecessary waste by using all secondhand materials.

Inspired by Treefort’s youthful & bright aesthetic and mutual passion for sustainability, Emme created the Mini Mural—an interactive, reusable art project that has been a Kidfort favorite for five years. Combining her artistic vision with a passion for fostering young imaginations, she continues to make the Mini Mural a lasting legacy for festivalgoers of all ages.
