Lisa Reid is an accomplished multidisciplinary artist working in ceramics, painting, drawing, printmaking, and digital media.
Buoyed by meticulous attention to detail, Reid is inspired by notions of family, home, and childhood memories. In her work on paper, Reid lovingly references old family photographs, her observational yet self-reflective work documenting and capturing the dream-like sentimentality found in reflecting on the past.
In her extensive ceramic practice, Reid recreates vintage appliances and objects, drawing from the archive of memory, each piece rich with the history of the artist and her family.
Reid has worked as an artist at Arts Project Australia since 2002 and had her first solo exhibition Lisa Reid: The Devil’s in the Detail at Arts Project Australia in 2015. She has exhibited in numerous group shows, including Painting. More Painting, ACCA, Melbourne; Renegades: Outsider Art, Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery, Swan Hill; Sit Down, Shut Up and Watch, Film & New Media Festival, Adelaide; and Everyday imagining: new perspectives on Outsider art, Ian Potter Museum of Art, The University of Melbourne. Her work is held in the National Gallery of Australia’s collection. Reid has work in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia and has been represented in major exhibitions in both Australia and overseas.
