Emily DuBois (b. 1946) is an internationally acclaimed American artist who lives in Portugal, after losing her long-time home in Hawai'i with the volcanic eruption in 2018. She is best known as one of the pioneers in the art of expressive digital weaving, and for applying shaped resist (shibori) processes to her handwoven fabrics. Her ongoing exploration with tapa (bark cloth) expands her studio practice into mixed media drawing and painting.
 

She has received many awards for her work including the National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship; the California Arts Council Fellowship in Visual Arts, and the Hawai’i State Foundation for Culture and the Arts purchase award.

Her work is in collections including the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museums;  the M.H. deYoung Museum, Fine Art Museums of San Francisco; the Oakland Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, and the Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, as well as in many more institutions and private collections around the world.
