The Artist’s Digest

Sydney’s Carriageworks was transformed into a trove of Australian and international art for the Affordable Art Fair in early November.  

“I don't think I could paint a straight line, ever,” says south-western Sydney based artist, Emma Oliver. “It just always ends up like this,” Oliver adds, as she draws a swirling line in the air with her fingers. Bunches of sunny florals bloom from Oliver’s imagination onto the page. Hand painted using gouache, fine brushes, and an abundance of patience, her unique style has come to be called ‘whimsical’ by some customers.
