Artist Emma Wreyford’s birds and abstract landscapes emanuate movement, vibrancy and wonder. Drawing inspiration from luminiosity and the psychology of colour. Her textured paintings express her intrinsic relationship with the environment.

Now based in the Mid-Coast of NSW after moving on from some stints in Sydney, one of which completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Paddington.
