Sunset Warratahs

Emily Kate is an artist from Ipswich, inspired by local landscapes and native flora. Her vibrant acrylic paintings on canvas celebrate Australian plant life - particularly endangered species - seeking to preserve their beauty through art. With a bright palette and expressive style, she creates what she calls 'art dopamine' - works designed to spark joy and evoke happiness.

Living with anxiety and depression, Emily uses her art practice as a tool for mental wellbeing and creative healing. Alongside her own work, she runs an art studio in Ipswich where she teaches classes and workshops, sharing her passion and encouraging others to explore their creativity in a supportive, uplifting environment.

In a world where we're often told we're 'too much', the waratah stands unapologetic - bold, bright, and ready to shine. Its vivid pinks and reds radiate strength and energy, softened by calming blues. This piece invites you to admire the powerful elegance of Australian flora.
