After so many years pursuing a dream, it’s so special to be able to come back and perform where they started. 

Emily Cornish (she/her) has spent most of her life in Barrie, with a few years spent up north in Sudbury while getting her undergraduate degree in Psychology. She has been performing in some form since childhood as she explored all the different aspects of art, music, and expression. Once she picked up her guitar, she was hooked. Inspired by the Indie scene, she brings a dreamy quality to acoustic covers of her favourite songs. She began attending art classes at the MacLaren as a young child and returned in high school to perform in the youth coffee houses. While she has taken a step back from performing in recent years, instead focusing on her visual artistic practice. In a full circle moment, she has returned to the MacLaren to join the education team to teach art to people off all ages. She is excited to honour a place which was been such an important part of her life.
