About

Shari Nye is an Australian painter whose work is deeply connected to the land, offering evocative and atmospheric interpretations of the landscape. Growing up in Eltham, Melbourne, amongst the Australian bush and connected to the Montsalvat artist colony, Nye began painting and working in ceramics as a teenager before establishing a successful ceramic practice. She studied at Monash University (BA Ceramic Design), RMIT, Latrobe Street College of Art, the Art Students League of New York, and Melbourne University (Grad Dip Visual Art Education).

Her paintings have been awarded and acquired by private and corporate collections. Now based in Warrnambool, Victoria, Nye paints full-time and directs the Warrnambool School of Art, where she teaches and fosters the local creative community.
