Emily Heath

Emily Heath is a Gadigal/Sydney-based artist whose textural oil abstracts explore the emotional and physical atmospheres that shape lived experience. Raised off-grid amid abundant gardens and surrounded by dense bushland, she developed a keen sensitivity to subtle environmental shifts and to the powerful natural forces that influenced daily life. Heath’s painting practice is physical and iterative, producing surfaces that hum with layered histories and energetic mark-making. Within these scarified, archaeological fields, compressed forms and contrasting treatments emerge, reflecting her ongoing exploration of the boundary between chaos and control.
