Nerida's work reflects her strong connection to the landscape of the beautiful Northern Rivers region of NSW, Australia, where she was born and raised.  

 

She was a finalist in the 2001 Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize, a semi-finalist in the BAM (Byron Arts Magazine) Art Prize 2020 and most recently 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) and Communications (Charles Sturt University Bathurst), and a Diploma of Visual Arts (Lismore Tafe). 

 

As an emerging artist she loves exploring all mediums and genres and is currently enjoying painting a variety of local as well as national rural scenes via commissions in oils. 

 

Nerida works out of her studio on a macadamia farm just outside of Alstonville, Northern NSW, where she lives with her husband and children, dog Max and horse Ella.
