About
Liz Eastland
I am a multi-arts practitioner based in Sydney, Australia (Ku-ring-gai). I am fascinated by and have formal education across many disciplines. Early on, I graduated from Concordia University, Montreal with a degree in creative writing and computer science, then later in life from the National Art School in 2009, in painting and drawing (dux in my year). In 2015 I was awarded my PhD from Sydney College of Art exploring ethnographic film techniques filming four female scientists working on breakthrough science, under the wonderful guidance of Prof Ross Gibson.
I have taught at various locations around Sydney in the past and regularly exhibit. My exhibition events are all encompassing installations creating unique experiences. My most recent exhibition, A Thousand Prayers, was based on our experience of walking the Camino Frances in 2023, and encompassed film, a 60 m installation, and works on paper. You can read more of my current news here. If you don’t want to miss the next one, please sign up to my newsletter here.
I embrace life as an adventure, and in a way, I have lived many lives. All my artwork is based around these adventures. I have a passion for long distance walking and the ocean, swimming in it and sailing across it. Formally trained in writing, drawing, painting and film, my current practice is based in all four, informed through walking and moving slowly through the landscape. I share my time between my studio in Ku-ring-gai, Sydney, and months at sea or on land.
I am currently planning two more pilgrimages to Santiago, the first one along the Camino Portuguese and the second the 1600 km Camino Via Podiensis. I don’t know yet what work will come from these…
