Michael Emery

A seasoned creator, guide, storyteller and sculptor of many years, Michael doesn’t just carve stone, he carves moments of tranquility.  His hands, weathered by years of shaping soapstone, harbour secrets whispered by the ancient rocks themselves. 

When you step into his workshop, you’re not merely learning to carve, you’re embarking on a serene journey.

“Life is soapstone – soft, malleable, and full of surprises.  So, grab a rasp, embrace the imperfections, and sculpt your joy.  And remember, when in doubt, meditate.  Or eat chocolate.  Both work!”

Route 22 Gallery is located on the land of the Treaty 7 people. In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Treaty 7 territory and the cultural and oral practices of the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations as well as the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, (Métis Nation District 4) within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. It is a privilege and and an honour to share these lands as our collective home.

Route 22 is an inclusive organization. We love our gallery – all are welcome here.
