Through the Sea Garden | Emma Stenhouse | Canvas or Prints by Artist Lane

Emma Stenhouse is a proud Ngarrindjeri woman and a contemporary indigenous artist on a journey of self discovery, deepening her connection with her family, exploring her heritage, and inspired by her love of Country. Emma encapsulates her knowledge in her story works formed by her deep relationship to land and guided by strong female role models in her community. Growing up in Broken Hill, Outback New South Wales, Emma intrinsically draws on her connection to the arid lands of the bush. This is often evident in her use of colours inspired by the red dirt, and the simple concepts of nurturing nature. She now resides by the beach and explores the shades of green & blue reflected in the region. As a multifaceted creative, she explores diverse art practices influenced by her journey. Each art piece is braided with learning, an enriching exchange between artist and viewer, a continuation of culture - a platform for cross cultural exchange.

These sunlit shallows are a journey of discovery in a real enchanted world of magic. A shimmering dancing garden exists below the surface, gently moving with the tides. The sway of the seaweed uncovers treasures hidden, but when you catch a glimpse, your heart beats a little faster at the discovery of natures wonders. Shells in all shapes and bright colours, each a precious gift layered with soft sand, resting on the sea floor. The gentle brush of a hand is enough to move the empty urchin, who still holds a colour so deep & rich. The coral is intricate, yet hard, illuminated in amongst the graceful swirling weeds, rising like spires of a kingdom with the most beautiful blooms, the sea garden is a place where time stands still and the calm water washes away weary thoughts for those who journey through.
