Hello!
My name is Emily and I am an artist based in Brisbane, where I live with my husband, two toddlers and our 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. 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 acrylics and oils to paint tangled florals, still life arrangements and landscapes. Broadly, my work aims to capture and celebrate the ‘aliveness’ of a moment in time: to encourage both myself as the artist, and you as the viewer, to be completely grounded in the present. 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. 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!
