Artist Bio

Emily Jeffrey is a Launceston based visual artist who comes from a long line of creatives ranging from a conjuror, a sculptor, a rapper, writers and illustrators, she naturally grew up with a passion for the arts.

Taking inspiration from simple yet complex moments, she asks how do we define ourselves, how do we express ourselves. What does it mean to ‘be’ when we are alone, and what are we saying, when we choose not to speak.

From scribbles, to charcoal, oils or acrylics, often focusing on portraiture. She relentlessly repeats, hearing is not listening, looking is not seeing, and it is time that we all practiced the difference.
