Emma O’ConnelL

Emma O’Connell is an Australian Contemporary landscape artist based on the Central Coast of NSW.  Specialising in abstract landscapes, her work explores the vast beauty of the outback through rich earthy tones and dynamic brushwork. Emma is self-taught, with a background in Visual Communication and Design, which influences her approach to composition, texture and colour.

Emma’s work is defined by a unique colour palette. The consistency of these tones has become a signature element in her work, reinforcing Emma’s connection to the land.

Emma’s work has been showcased in various exhibitions, including Clouds 3 Newcastle Art Space 2024, The Central Coast Council’s Creative Spaces Group Exhibition at Toukley, a finalist in the Northern Beaches Gallery Art Prize 2024, and currently exhibiting at retail store Book Face located at Erina Fair shopping centre.

Emma is currently represented at The Northern Beaches Gallery in Sydney, and Tyger Gallery in Yass.

Emma creates in her home studio, while raising two beautiful boys with her husband.

Most of all, Emma finds endless joy in creating pieces that not only to connect us to each other and the land, but also as a reminder to pause, breathe, and marvel at the beauty that surrounds us.

“Much like life itself, I invite you to experience my landscapes - not as a fixed place, but something alive, breathing, ever-changing and full of stories.” Says Emma.
