Emma Morgan

Common Ground

Mornington Peninsula based painter, farmer-florist and forager Emma Morgan is known for her intricate, rambling watercolour and fine-liner artworks that predominantly feature wildlife, protea and Australian native florals.

I work entirely by hand using fine-liner and watercolours. All artworks are hand drawn onto cotton rag or paper using quality pigment ink pens and watercolours. I dip my toes into printmaking, oil paint and fabric dying too. After studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Monash University, and Interior Design at RMIT, I became inspired by Victorian-style illustrations, intricate line work, and home decor with joyful pops of colour. Now, my work is featured on cushions, throws and walls around Australia. That, and throughout various books, galleries and publications.
