Emma McPike makes suburbia shimmer, mirage-like. Her hand-worked prints and drawings seek out the weakest spots in the soft armour of nostalgia, cutting haze with a hard line. Emma received an Honours degree in Art from Curtin University in 2009, where she now tutors in Print Media. In 2010 was selected to undertake a residency at Canberra's Megalo Print Studio, in collaboration with Trevor Bly. Emma presented her first solo exhibition, True North, at OK Gallery in 2011, and has contributed work to a number of group exhibitions, including the Fremantle Print Award (2012), WIlderness Years (2011, OK Gallery) and Wallpaper, (2010, Gallery Central, with Trevor Bly).
