Emma Beth Richards (b. 2001) is a Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland-based artist who received a Master of Visual Arts (2025) from Auckland University of Technology. Richards’ practice centres on figurative painting, exploring representations of women’s bodies through feminist and posthumanist frameworks. Engaging closely with the materiality of paint, Richards’ work suggests a transcorporeal relationship between female-leaning bodies and swamp-like environments, one that is fluid and continually shifting.
