Emily Ferretti is a Melbourne-based artist. Ferretti makes images of selected still-life objects and scenes that are reflective and symbolic. Rendered with representational and abstracted elements her work uses specific form and colour to evoke and highlight feelings of recollection. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2006, Ferretti has exhibited widely in artist-run and commercial spaces throughout Australia. In 2015 she completed a residency at the prestigious Greene Street Studio in New York (awarded by the Australia Council for the Arts) and has also undertaken studio residencies at Gertrude Contemporary, the Australian Tapestry Workshop and the Cite des Arts Internationale in Paris (awarded by the Art Gallery of New South Wales). Her work is held in major collections including at Artbank, Monash University Museum of Art and the Macquarie Group Collection, as well as in private collections in Australia and the UK.
