Nerrida Parfitt

Nerrida Parfitt is a contemporary painter with formal education in visual art, multimedia and graphic design.

Living in Victoria, and painting from her home studio, she also work as a multimedia designer.

Introduced to oil painting while studying a visual arts diploma in her teens, Nerrida has continued to pursue a passion for oil painting ever since.

Her representational artworks explore the relationship between the natural world and the built environment. Constructed from a combination of real and imagined scenes and elements, they often depict gothic scenes of the Australian landscape, sometimes with a surrealist undertone.

Inspired by abandoned buildings, historical architecture, forgotten places and the richness of the landscape, recurring themes of change and impermanence resonate through her work.
