Hailing from an artistic family, Emma Sheldrake has worked across a wide range of creative industries and is fast gaining recognition for
her unique style of painting. 


Bold, striking, spontaneous and captivating, Emma’s works reflect the fact that painting liberates her passion and energy. 


Em’s signature style drips with seductive intent, blending figurative art with the mischievousness of Pop Art and the subtleties of eroticism. 

Bold colour combinations, daring brush strokes, irreverent drips and enticing eyes define the power of her images to seduce the onlooker. Largely influenced by her experiences in the fashion industry, her works are commentaries on how beauty is reflected in the media, its mesmeric portrayal and obscured depths.


The flawless beauty of her subjects seeps from the pages

of stereotyped fashion magazines into an unbound representation of character, rich with personality and evocative imperfections.


Since her launch, Emma has had works in over 40 exhibitions
throughout Australia and overseas, amongst those, Art Shanghai and
Art Sydney. She is fast gaining recognition for her unique style of painting and is now represented by eight galleries Australia wide as well as being sought after internationally.


Emma entered the Archibald Prize for the first time in 2009. For 2010, Emma was delighted to paint Australia’s much loved comedy trio,
The Kransky Sisters, in 2011 singer Erika Heynatz and in
2012 Pro fisherwomen, sharker and surfer Kim McKenzie.
