Danielle Creenaune

Australian artist Danielle Creenaune lived abroad for 18 years in Europe before returning to Australia in 2019. Her work has received awards internationally including the René Carcan International Printmaking Award 2016 1st Mention Belgium and the Corsair Prize for Innovation at Inkmasters Cairns 2018. Her lithographs represented Australia in the International Print Triennial Krakow 2015 and were exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition London 2018 & 2019. Creenaune’s work is held in public collections including the National Gallery of Australia. She completed a Bachelor and a Master of Art at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts, Sydney in 1997. “Danielle Creenaune’s work occupies a liminal zone between abstraction and representation, where the experience of a place, rather than a literal rendition of landscape feeds her creative practice. Wind-swept and gestural, the artist distills the essence of her subject through reductive marks made confidently on lithographic plates, which through the alchemy of printmaking are released onto paper.” Marguerite Brown MA ArtCur, General Manager Print Council of Australia Inc.
