Emma Stuart

Emma Stuart paints the Australian landscape from the experience of bush walks and capturing the sensation of being on country.

With evocative brushstrokes and luminous colour, Emma brings to life the light and shade of being in the landscape and amongst the trees. Her painting technique is precise yet free as she confidently depicts the places that she knows well. Each tree is captured as an individual personality with close attention to colour and form, drawing the viewer in and then through to the surrounding terrain.

Emma illustrates the joy of being in nature and how it is inherently nurturing. Her paintings transport the viewer to feel almost like being there.

Emma Stuart was born in New Zealand and has lived in Melbourne, London, Berlin, Alice Springs and now in Western Victoria. She has exhibited consistently for over a decade in group and solo exhibitions throughout Australia and internationally, including winning awards in the Northern Territory and inclusion in Hidden Arrernte at Araluen Arts Centre in Alice Springs. Emma’s paintings are held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand and Germany and recently acquired by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
