Em Wafer is a full-time New Zealand artist and muralist known for her surreal microcosmic worlds. She exhibits locally and internationally, and has collectors worldwide.
Her work balances intimacy with scale, inviting viewers into imagined environments shaped by wonder, mystery and reflection.
At the heart of her work is the relationship between the unique and the universal. Through scenes that feel both personal and strangely familiar, space is left for individual interpretation. Wafer's paintings unfold gradually, rewarding sustained looking and revealing new connections over time.
