An exploration into colour, texture & pattern.

Emily Gibson is a mixed-media visual artist from Perth, Australia. Her work is widely acclaimed for its bright, fun, and colourful aesthetic with inspiration from women, the natural world and a heavy focus on colour and form. Emily rejoices any moment that allows her to further explore female beauty and empowerment, often incorporating fluid shapes and bold colors indicative of the female form and spirit. She specialises in a range of mediums including sculpture, jewellery, public art, painting, and furniture design. An artist of adventurous spirit, she strives to be a constant student of art, searching for bold new forms and methods of expression.

Pieces from her jewellery brand Rummage have been featured in both Australian and London Fashion Week, in the esteemed publications Instyle Magazine, Vogue, Marie Clare, Papier Magazine, Shop til you Drop, Herald Sun, The Australian Magazine, The West Australian, and STM, and are sold in exclusive boutiques across the globe. She was recently awarded a commission by AMP Capital for the Karrinyup City Shopping Centre expansion, to do a series of sculptural pieces.

Emily creates her sculptures in her partner Steffens design/fabrication studio ‘Handwerk’, and has won acclaim for their bold uses of colour and form. Her ‘Rock Totem’ series has gained traction with both private and corporate buyers.

Emily’s work has proven to integrate seamlessly into a diverse range of environments, whether that is in one’s home, office, in public, and even as featured visual merchandising for store windows and high-end central displays. Emily is drawn to mixed media for its potential in exploring colour, texture, and form.

Previous collections include ‘Color Splat’, a series of wall hangings created in abstract wooden shapes with a variety of colours and forms, and ‘Goldie Valentine’, which featured elaborate, exotic jewellery pieces encased in bespoke framed boxes. Her other series, ‘V.1981’, garnered praise for its explosion of colour, vivid themes of empowerment, fragility, excitement, and life itself. Emily was educated at Swinburne University and the Victorian College of Arts.
