Lisa Carrett is an emerging Australian artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, ceramics, and photography. In 2019, she graduated from UNSW Art & Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours). Additionally, she also holds a Master of Visual Arts Secondary Education (Dean's List) UNSW, with experience across artist-run initiatives, studio workshops, and secondary education.
Carrett's practice explores transient Australian landscapes, past and present, examining the ways memory intersects with place. Through a bold colour palette, she challenges viewers' perceptions of familiar environments, creating imagery that feels both recognisable and simultaneously uncanny.
Her work has been exhibited both in NSW and interstate in solo and group exhibitions and has been recognised in finalist awards. Recent projects include the Oatlands Arts Residency, Tasmania (2025), Strange Lands (2024) and Artist as Archivist (2024). She has recently been a finalist in the Waverley Art Prize, Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, and Burwood Art Prize, and her work is held in public and private collections across Australia.
Alongside her artistic practice, Carrett delivers educational programs and painting courses. Looking to collaborate - Get in touch!
