My Yard

“I grew up in Wangi Wangi, on a peninsula jutting out into Lake Macquarie, NSW. My early life was insular and magical. I was brought up in a large creative family and attended a Steiner School. Creating art has always been a safe space for me.

​My approach towards making has morphed into a tool for social commentary and self-evolution. After completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts at National Art School, I began studying a Masters of Art Therapy to combine my interests in psychology and passion for creativity and connection.

The aesthetic of my work is somewhat ‘tacky’ and explores different concepts of social issues, psychology, as well as celebrating the ‘ordinary’ moments in life we all connect with.” – Lili Montefiore
