Emma-Kate Moore | artist

Emma-Kate lives, and finds inspiration, in the Queenstown-Lakes district of New Zealand’s South Island. She has a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and literature and is an artist and illustrator with a professional portfolio developed over the last decade. Now in her 30’s, she has loved drawing since childhood.

With a keen interest in classic forms of printmaking, her practice is built around a deep observation of the natural world alongside her fascination with the forms that emerge as a function of light in her subjects. She delights in line creating shapes, drawings that become a series of print matrices expressing a sensitive, abstracted representation - a glimpse into Emma-Kate's knowing of the landscape she loves. She produces small editions of original prints utilising a variety of printmaking methods, as well as making paintings on both board and canvas.

Emma-Kate has been a finalist in both national and regional art competitions. Founder of studioEKM, she exhibits regularly and her work is much loved in private collections throughout New Zealand and internationally.
