Emily Ebbs
Emily Ebbs is a visual artist living and working on Gadigal land (Sydney), Australia. Her process-based practice is deeply rooted in evoking the emotional residue of memories through the technique of staining. Emily’s fluid stain paintings often on raw canvas to allow the paint to seep into the weaves of the fabric explore the stain of trauma that remains within the body.
She graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the National Art School (2022), where she was awarded both the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olly Art Centre Nancy Fairfax (AIR) Award and the Yves Hernot Painting Award.
Since completing her studies, Ebbs has held multiple solo exhibitions at Hake House of Art, Artereal Gallery, and the Tweed Regional Gallery. She has participated in over twenty group exhibitions and has been a finalist in several major art prizes, including the 2023 Mosman Art Prize, the 2025 Blacktown City Art Prize.
Most recently Emily was the winner of the 2025 Paddington Art Prize, a $30,000 National Acquisitive Prize, now in its 22nd year for a painting inspired by the Australian Landscape.
