Artwork Description

Recently I have been influenced by the Female painters who began making waves during the Impressionist era. Alongside Monet and Manet, artists such as Berthe Morisot took up painting seriously, and were hailed as contemporaries by their male counterparts. I have been so inspired by this era of painting, that I have begun to soften my palette and brushstrokes -opting for a looser more Impressionistic style. All that said, the most important thing - is the FEELING that a painting offers you. In this case, I want it to be peaceful, relaxing and nurturing. Bask here, and rest by the river.

Artist Bio

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).
