Emily is a Melbourne-based artist whose still life paintings honour humble, everyday moments of beauty. Her work is inspired by personal stories and a longing for simpler times.
Emily’s signature style combines fuss-free arrangements of Australian native flowers with vintage ceramics, sentimental keepsakes, lacework and bold patterns. Rendered in intricate detail, her paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia and invite deeper reflection on how our lives have changed over recent decades.
Emily draws inspiration from childhood memories of her grandparents’ weary old Queenslander – a home filled with quiet character, unpretentious charm and hidden treasures. While simultaneously celebrating life’s simple pleasures – a good book, a warm cup of tea – Emily’s work explores the way objects hold memories, mark the passage of time, and speak to the lives they touched.
Above all, Emily hopes her artwork brightens spaces and connects with viewers in a way that conjures a sense of comfort, nostalgia and delight.
