BEAUTIFUL
to make home feel just that little bit more special
& nurturing for you soul
ELEMENTAL
"I will make my way in the wilderness & rivers in the dessert"...
​
This is a beautiful sentiment right now. Even in this strange time, I am endeavouring to make meaningfull connection in my life. I strive to create comfort & happiness for myself, and others by sharing my art, creativity and happiness.
​
This new collection is the first of a new way of working in the art studio. Surrounded by family, in isolation, dreaming of wandering the earth. New art for a new time.
"Off to the forest I go!
To lose my mind
and find my soul"

ARTIST EMMA WARD
"Between memories and our dreams, lives our magic"
​
My desire is to create brushstrokes that connect paint with emotion
and make marks that whisper stories, to embrace creativity, connection and beauty in the every day.
​
Can you feel it? There is a change in the air. I'm not just talking about the seasons, although I AM looking forward to a gentler time. I am also referring to a new, enchanting collection of work I've been creating which celebrates our emotional connections with a family of trees.
I am responding and documenting their aura and spirit as an 'ode' in these works to the magic of these trees and their shared stories with ours.
​
As our lives become digitised and urbane, our focus delves inwards and downwards, if we learn to pause for just a moment and look 'up' we may be surprised by the peace we find in the canopy of trees.
​
I suggest, you kick off your shoes, make yourself a warm, inviting cup of tea, and make time to view this work right now!
​
​
It's lovely to see you!
STAY A WHILE...
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE
I am a full time artist working from my home art studio in Central Queensland, Australia.
My studio is called the "Meraki' studio which is a beautiful Greek word which means 'to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work.
​
This is a perfect word that not only describes my studio, but my website as well. Meraki is the whole ethos of my arts practise.
​
I look forward to sharing my art with you.
shop update
We are all adjusting to new environments, working from home, and hopefully, finding a new rhythm. I wanted to make sure that even though we are apart, and even though you can't visit the studio or share a glass of wine with me at an exhibition, that we can still connect. I wanted you to be able to visit my website and find a little bit of 'happy' to brighten your day.
​
So I've relisted some of my all time favourite artworks as FINE ART PRINTS and created a 'Little Gift Shop' for those of you who (like me) are enjoying a little bit on online shopping these days!
