About

Nerida Woolley is an Australian landscape artist whose work captures the quiet poetry of rural life - rolling hills, country roads, and places where stillness lingers. With bold brushwork and layered colour, often in her muted signature palette, her paintings invite the viewers into familiar yet timeless landscapes.

She has exhibited widely across Australia, with works held in both private and public collections. Nerida works in her on-farm studio in the Northern Rivers of NSW, where she continues to explore the connections between land, memory and belonging.

Recent achievements include; - winning the landscape acquisition category, 'In and around Bentley', in 2025 40th anniversary year of The Bentley Art Prize, and being named as a finalist in the Mini Series Art Prize run by The Corner Store Gallery held this August. In May last year Nerida won the Landscape division of the Aspect Art Show, Goondiwindi. She was a finalist in the 2021 Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize, a semi-finalist in the BAM (Byron Arts Magazine) Art Prize 2020 and last year selected by Amber Cresswell Bell to participate in the 2023 ACB Selects online exhibition as part of the National Emerging Art Prize.

Nerida has tertiary qualifications in Agribusiness (University of Queensland, Gatton College), Masters in Communications (Charles Sturt University Bathurst), and a Diploma of Visual Arts (Lismore Tafe).
