A rarely found Nantucket artist, Emily Hoffmeier was a founding member of the Nantucket Art Association (1945) along with Frank Swift Chase. Hoffmeier graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1909 and remained there as an instructor just after. She studied with Henry Snell in Boothbay Harbor, with Hugh Brecknridge in Gloucester, and with Frank Swift Chase on Nantucket. She established a studio on Nantucket in 1929. Her works are in the collection of the Nantucket Historical Association.
