Lilli Stromland is a painter and ceramicist, living and working upon Gadigal land, Sydney. Her often psychologically-charged, observational oil paintings explore the subject of material nostalgia, comfort and home. Sensuous and tactile, they transpose the Dutch still-life tradition into the contemporary context of Australian suburbia. Lilli graduated from the National Art School, Sydney in 2015 with a major in painting. Since that time she has been in a number of awards and prizes, including being a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Scholarship (2020), the Portia Geach Memorial Award (2019), the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize (2021, 2022, 2023) and the Salon de Refusés at S.H. Ervin Gallery (2019). In addition, she has participated in multiple solo and group shows and has work held in numerous private collections across Australia.
