Hello!
My name is Emily and I am an artist based in Brisbane, where I live with my husband, two daughters and 14 year old rescue dog. I have been painting full time since 2019, having made a career change from architecture after a 6 month road trip around Australia. The area we live in now is surrounded by bushland reserves and creeks, which I draw a lot of inspiration from. My studio has beautiful views out to the hills, and I love the little oasis that the space offers for me (and my kids!) to create in.
In the studio, I use mostly acrylics to paint earthy, tangled florals, still life arrangements and interiors. Overall, I create art that is quietly grounded in the present; familiar pieces that live with you through every season of life. My work is constructed in layers of loose brush work, while gradually building up areas of detail until I think the piece is complete. I frequently draw back on my design skills by stitching together photos, sketches and memories to create imagined compositions.
I also co-run a business called Bloom Art Experiences: we host bespoke, in-person workshops around Australia and offer online painting courses that are perfect for complete beginner through to hobby artists.
Please follow me on Instagram to see a little more of my process and behind the scenes of my studio. I release new art to my Instagram every Sunday night at 7.30pm AEST in a series called Sunday Still Life.
You can also sign up to my newsletter – it is here that I send the occasional email about any new painting, print, product or workshop releases. You can also email me at any time via emilydaystudio@gmail.com with any queries or questions you may have.
I love getting to know the people that connect with my art and I very much appreciate the support from you all. Thank you so much for being here!
