Emily Banwell, an award-winning Ipswich artist, is renowned for her intricate drawings and paintings that capture local wildlife with a whimsical touch. She graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2009, earning a Bachelor of Fine Art with First Class Honours and a University medal for academic achievement.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Emily is a passionate teacher, nurturing creativity and wellbeing in young learners. Her art practice plays a crucial role in her mental health journey, and she imbues each artwork with a deep personal connection.

Emily’s fascination lies in local native Australian animals, and her ambition is to use art to foster understanding, reflection, and connection—both with the animal world and within herself.

I am especially interested in depicting relationships built around empathy. To walk in someone else's shoes is to make effort to grasp others’ experiences and emotions. My boots have walked the highs and lows. The two finches are inquisitive with each other, noticing differences and similarities. They are also perhaps grappling with the human journey as they rest atop of these hard knocked boots. Through observing this special connection, I invite others to recognise our common humanity and embrace empathy.
