Emily Jackson

Emily appreciates Australia’s biodiversity, with
the natural environment providing the subject matter for her vibrant, joyous, modern works. They feature abstractions, stylised forms and representational elements depicted through different artistic disciplines, including etching, lino printing, mono printing, drawing and painting.

The subject matter is often expressed at different scales and perspectives, creating visual interest and complexity.

Emily’s unique, composite approach produces her own identifiable style, coined as “stratisart”, a term that reflects the many layers of the work, which vary in extent, opacity, method and material. The art produced by this process is attractive and invites deeper reflection by the viewer. The viewer’s gaze travels around the work, with details and layers to appreciate, which can be missed at first glance.

Emily studied at Lincolnshire College of Art and Design and the Kent Institute of Art and Design, UK, obtaining an honours degree in Graphic Design and Communication. For several years Emily worked in Design Agencies in the UK as a Junior Designer, Senior Designer and Art Director.
She spent time travelling the world before settling in Australia in 2000. Emily runs a successful graphic design studio alongside her art practice.
However due to the popularity of her works, art has become her priority and primary focus in the past few years.
