History Unfolds

This is a still life painted from a flat lay perspective i.e looking down at the objects. The objects that appear in this work are a vintage white tablecloth, hand embroidered heirloom, curled around and resembling a rose, positioned in a wooden bowl. The floor is my previous art studio, which is a grubby concrete floor, covered in stains and paint splotches.

Emma Ward is a professional Central Queensland artist who is inspired by the beauty of botanicals, the power of memory, and the stories of connection in a moment of time.
My practice revolves around connecting feelings with memories so I guess I identify as an Expressionistic Romantic or a Romantic Expressionist!. I enjoy creating meaning from the art of everyday alchemy - Flowers, Animals and Faces feature in my paintings. Spirit and energy is so important in creating a heartfelt painting. My studio is my haven - I paint amongst my flowers, surrounded by four daughters, my loving husband and two fuzzy art interns (my two curious cats).
