She's having a snooze on her buddy. Inspired by long days at the beach.
Artist Bio: Em creates work for the female gaze, painting femme figures with agency, unapologetically resting and in contemplation. Figures with straight backs and soft bellies.
Em’s art practice came out of a need to create a space of psychological safety, joy and comfort in her own life, and in her work she tries to create for collectors what she struggles to give herself - calm, safety, rest and a safe space for anger and power.
Colour contrasts are a central point in Em’s work, and she paints in a signature flattened style with bold bright colours and a focus on line and form over shading, to achieve this she uses a type of matte paint that achieves a level of hyper pigmentation.
Em creates work on Gadigal land in Mothership Studios, Marrickville, a shared artist warehouse community of makers, musicians and artists.
