Born in Newcastle as one of three sons of a composer, the family lived briefly in Australia between 1852 and 1855. There, young Hemy is said to have tried his hand at gold digging for a while. When the family travelled back to England, Hemy had originally decided to enter the priesthood. However, the sea voyage from Australia to England had left a lasting impression and awakened in him a love of the sea. Hemy immediately rejected the idea and signed on on a coal ship.
Until the age of 19, Hemy went to sea. Then he decided again for the priesthood and moved to a monastery in Newcastle, where he probably learned painting and drawing for the first time. Shortly before taking his final vows, Hemy again decided against the priesthood and made a final decision. He wanted to become a painter. Hemy first attended art school in Newcastle under the guidance of William Bell Scott. He then moved to Antwerp where he was trained by Hendrik Leysfort and worked in the studio of the Belgian painter Baron Leys. Around 1870 Hemy moved to London and worked there for several years before moving to the small fishing village of Falmouth in 1881. In his earlier works Hemy devoted himself to history and landscape painting. After moving to Falmouth, however, he painted almost exclusively maritime motifs, ships and fishing scenes. Not only did the theme of his paintings change dramatically with the move, but also his painting style. His earlier works were strongly influenced by the strict pre-Raphaelite style. In his later works, however, Hemy became increasingly free and painted more fluently.
The special artistic importance of the Newlyn School and especially Hemy in its centre was demonstrated by the visit of the American portrait painter John Singer Sargent who travelled to Falmouth to visit Hemy and paint him. Hemy was friends with many artists of his time, including James Abbott McNeill Whistler, James Tissot, Henry Scott Tuke or Edgar Degas. Hemy exhibited over 80 works at the Royal Academy between 1865 and 1917. The Academy accepted him as a full member in 1910. Besides his paintings Hemy also worked as an illustrator for several travel magazines. His love for the sea is clearly reflected in his paintings. He was an experienced sailor who always felt connected to the sea. Hemy spent hours sitting outside and working on his paintings, even in bad weather conditions. This was his downfall, as he died of pneumonia. His two brothers Thomas and Bernard Hemy also became painters. But they never achieved the artistic achievement and public recognition of Charles Napier Hemy.
