“I used to have an inflatable chilli for the beach which I really liked for beach holidays. I like the shape of chillis. This is why I chose to paint them. I like patterns so I painted lots of them in a pattern in my favourite rainbow colours.” —Emi Tiernan

ABOUT
Emilie (Emi) Tiernen approaches colour with a great passion, in both her art and as a person. She will experiment with various techniques and mediums, but retains her bright compositions, rainbow animals, and concentrated patterns of colour which have since become her signature style. Growing up in Bayside Melbourne, she constructs her artworks by recounting beach holidays, trips in the car, encounters with dogs and people she loves to see regularly on her neighbourhood walks. She also loves language and words and her works are often spurred by playful interaction between word-play and imagery.
Tiernen has exhibited regularly through Bayley Arts, her local councils, in 2023 was selected in the exhibition Disability Lens on Climate Emergency, Climarte Gallery, Richmond and has also featured work in commercially licensed forums.
