About Trisha Lambi

***AS SEEN ON THE BLOCK 2019***

FINALIST 2024 AUSTRALIAN STREET ART AWARDS

JURIED MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL GUILD OF REALISM

Trisha Lambi is an award-winning artist known for her bold and sensuous yet haunting oil paintings. Of her work she says 'Light and its effect on form is my inspiration and whilst I don't aspire to convey a conscious emotion in my work it seems to emerge of its own will.'

She has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Highlights of her career include her selection to represent Australia at the 2006 and 2007 Guangzhou Art Fair in China and her selection as a finalist in the 2012 Art Taipei International Competition. She was a Zone winner in the London Olympics 2012 Art Show and was selected as one of the Best Picks for Painting in the 2013 Dubai International Emerging Artist Award. Among her more recent achievements was her selection to exhibit in Underbelly, a group show curated by Dab Art at H Gallery in Ventura California, her selection as a finalist in the 2017 Hornsby Art Prize and her selection as a semi-finalist in the 2018 Artbox Project New York. In late 2018 she completed her first Artist Residency which involved painting a mural in the streets of Lakkos, the historic old town of Heraklion, Crete. 

2019 saw three of her artworks featured in the Australian TV series The Block and another artist residency – this time in the beautiful French village of Fontaine-Daniel. In 2020 she a finalist in the Wyndham Art Prize as well as being accepted into the International Guild of Realism. More recently she received a Merit Award in the Camelback Gallery’s International Juried ‘’Shades of Red” Visual Arts Competition and placed 6th in the global American Art Awards. She was a finalist in both the juried 2021 and 2022 International Guild of Realism's Spring and Fall Salon Online Exhibitions and was selected to exhibit in Janet Rady Fine Art’s international exhibition ‘Making A Splash’. In 2022 she was the Artist in Residence during the International Women’s Day Corporate Art Exhibition in Brisbane as well as during the Condamine Country Art and Open Studio Trail in Warwick.

She spent a year from June 2021 to June 2022 working on a series of paintings documenting the Gold Rush in Charters Towers which were then converted into a mosaic mural covering the external walls of a shopping centre 80m long and 7 metres high and commissioned by Goldtower Central.

She was a finalist in the 2023 Clayton Utz Art Prize and the 2023 Kennedy Prize, and her latest achievement is being named as a finalist in the 2024 Australian Street Art Awards for her work on the Wall of History Mosaic Mural in Charters Towers. 

2024 promises to be an exciting year with an invitation to conduct an oil painting workshop at the esteemed Schola Artis Pro Vobis in Assisi Italy from the 6th to the 13th July.
