Emma Coulter is a UK born, Australian visual artist, with a background in both fine art and interior architecture.

She has a Bachelor of Visual Art (Painting) and a Bachelor of Built Environment (Interior) with distinction, both from the Queensland University of Technology. As an undergraduate she received multiple awards for her excellence in academic achievement.

Her arts practice examines issues of self identity in relation to process and context. As Coulter describes, 'Influenced heavily by context, my works are visual references that underpin a conceptual narrative through experimentation within the process of painting. Specific elements such as 'place', 'society' and 'experience' combine to inform the process, whilst the juxtaposition of traditional elements, such as colour, shape and form unite to define the outcome.'

Coulter has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions throughout Australia and has recently had her first international solo exhibition, 'viscerality', in Berlin, Germany (2011). She was also selected for last years Directors Cut Exhibition for the Blake Prize (2011).

Her Australian exhibition history includes being selected for 'New Breed', in Sydney (2006) and also for her inaugural solo show, 'Unseen', at Fox Galleries, in Brisbane (2005). In 2007 she was selected for interview in ANZ Bank's magazine, 'Inspired', for 'Talent trial', an article on emerging Australian talent. Her work has been featured widely in both print an online publications including the Melbourne City Weekly, Design Quarterly Magazine and Indesign.

Her major Melbourne solo exhibitions include, 'Twofold' (2007), 'Memory space' (2009) and 'Shedding Skin' (2011).

Her artwork is included in various corporate collections, including Citigroup Wealth Advisors, Fisher Adams Kelly Patent Law Attorneys, Tower Books and private collections throughout Australia and internationally.
