The child self in us all, the divine self. The Demon that will not stop tapping you on the inside until you hear the call to joy, the remembrance of play, of life and the game that it is, the heart’s calling, a holy shout from within and a compass always to your true destiny. Paint and collage on an up-cycled beer box.

BIO
Emma Magenta. Outsider. Artist. Author. Director
Emma Magenta was born in Sydney and began her career drawing and writing her thoughts down on brown paper bags whilst working at a book shop in Paddington. After pinning the illustrative thoughts to the front window, they began to be noticed and revered. Soon she was offered a publishing deal, and her creative career began.
She has gone on to write and illustrate several adult picture books, mostly dealing with aspects of the female Psyche, and illustrate books for other prominent creatives such at Toni Collette.
Emma uses her left hand to paint and draw, as a way to tap into the present unconscious mind. Her works are created as an exercise of personal and public alchemy, dealing with contemporary issues associated with being human!
Emma Magenta’s works are held in collections all over Australia and the world.
