Self Portrait with Daddy in the Daisies watching the field of Planes

Bold', 'assured' and 'sensual' are all words that describe the work of Emily Crockford. No matter what she turns her eye to – whether it be the natural environment, Australiana or people within her orbit – she transforms it all into a lyrical universe of bold colour and intricate pattern. Bright hues sit alongside areas of fine detail, passionate energy exists simultaneously with areas of quiet contemplation.
