Emma Hollingsworth is a Kaanju, Kuku Ya'u, Girramay woman who grew up in tropical Far North Queensland. She now operates in Meanjin out of her home studio. Her work is a reflection of her heritage and her community, and she uses vibrant colours and designs to pay homage to her youthfulness blending with her ancient culture. Her work tells her own story of a young Indigenous woman growing up and paving a path in a modern world, and all of the trials and tribulations that go hand in hand with that.
