Artist Statement
Roxanne Lillis is a painter and sculptor, living and working in the Southern Highlands region of New South Wales.
Lillis began her art education in Sydney where she studied at the Julian Ashton Art School, The Rocks. There, Lillis absorbed the acute attention to form and composition associated with academic tutoring.
Her passion for the arts led her to successfully undertake a Bachelor of Creative Arts from the University of Wollongong in 2000. After that, she received a Post-Graduate degree in Master of Art (Honours with Excellence) at the University of NSW Art & Design, Sydney in 2018. This is where Lillis developed her own visual language.
Roxanne Lillis’ exhibitions include group and solo shows throughout Sydney and regional NSW. With a growing reputation in the field of arts, accompanied by awards,
Lillis now seeks future opportunities to participate in showcasing her unique and celebrated artwork.
My artworks are created following sketches on our acreage of virgin bushland. My studio overlooks regenerating bushland and the slow return of fauna. Oil paints and glazes are applied in layers attempting to capture not only the recovery, but the history of trauma. This has become essential in my mode of existence since the devastation of losing everything in a bushfire; seeping into my heart and rationale. The paintings, on canvas, are simultaneously philosophical and literal. My intention is to create ambiguous organic forms. The ambiguity opens diverse interpretations.
Whimsical yet solemn, in an abstract expressionist style.
– Roxanne Lillis
