Artist Spotlight
Tell us a little bit about you?
I live in the Yarra Valley (Vic) with my husband, 3 little girls, our dog Tank and ginger cat Keith. When I’m not painting I love to bake, potter in the veggie patch and sit and enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine.
What is your favourite drink?
What does your day look like as an artist? My creative life is very chaotic. In the best way! My studio is in the corner of our lounge room. So you can imagine the chaos. I get to be at home with my girls during the day, so I literally paint whenever I have a 5 minute window. And then when they are all in bed it’s straight onto the tools, while my husband watches Netflix and I listen and call out ‘what’s happening now’.
What inspired you to start painting/drawing?
When my oldest started 3y.o kinder 7 years ago I decided to get back into my creativity and do something for myself. I have painted every single day since then.
What advice would you give other artists/creatives starting out?
Paint as much as you can, have lots of sketchbooks and commit to painting something every single day.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
In a big open studio with lots of light, where I can paint as big as I want.
Emily’s work is available to purchase from our Emerging Artist Exhibition.
