Martha Jane Diana (a/k/a Emjay), originally an Alabamian, came to Memphis in 1992 from Iuka, Mississippi, by way of New York City.  She worked a fast-paced professional job in New York and has found her creative side has flourished since moving back to the South.

Emjay offers a digital transcription service, operating out of her home, and also creates original, handcrafted stained glass artwork.

Having a special feeling for Native American lore, Emjay creates unique stained glass pieces based on stories from those sources.  (Examples - Dream Catcher, Kokopelli, Wedding Vase.)

Another series of stained glass designs features pieces depicting Underground Railroad Quilt Codes used as guides -- for fugitive slaves using the Underground Railroad as an escape to freedom -- to learn the routes from one place to another.

From time to time the stained glass photo gallery will feature other original, handcrafted stained glass art from Emjay Diana Designs such as pieces with unique geometric shapes, musically inspired pieces, and picture frames.
