Emma Wilks is an emerging artist who currently resides in the Hunter Valley. Originally from Lake Macquarie, she finds inspiration in her surroundings, past memories, and day-to-day life struggles. Her art practice allows her to find a calm, meditative place where she can reflect on herself and the world around her. Rooted in drawing, she found a love for printmaking, cyanotypes, and ceramics during her Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Newcastle which she completed in 2018.
