A kinetic sculptor, Lin Emery of New Orleans is known for polished aluminum abstract work that gracefully blows in the wind, resembling the ballet dancing of which she is so enamored.  Of her work, it is written:  "Her works are about grace, form and motion with an unsaid spiritual connection betwen the artist, metal and nature."
