Australian artist Gemma O’Brien does bold super graphics, illustrative lettering and hand-painted murals with the mission in mind to elevate words to art.
Gemma O'Brien a.k.a. Mrs Eaves is an internationally renowned designer and artist known for her bold graphics, illustrative lettering and murals. Her work has been commissioned by Apple, Nike, Google, and is held in the permanent collection of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.
After leaving law school to pursue graphic design, she became inspired by letterpress printing and has since gone on to build a career around drawing, painting and digital design.
Outside her commercial design work, she explores language, nature and the human experience through her art practice.
Join Gemma for a discussion of her intricate typography, wall paintings and brand collaborations from the past decade. With live demos of painting, drawing and calligraphy, Gemma will reflect on how analog processes shaped pivotal moments in her career, and how her art practice is being influenced by her current research in Neuroaesthetics.
