Danielle Creenaune: Selected Works

Danielle Creenaune is an Australian-born artist who lived and worked in London and Barcelona for 18 years before returning to Wollongong, Australia, on Dharawal Land in 2019. Working across printmaking, artist books and drawing, her practice explores the intrinsic dialogue between landscape and people, and how our experience of place is shaped through memory, gesture and emotion.

Moving between abstraction and representation, Creenaune’s work captures the sensory experience of landscape rather than a literal depiction of it. Her prints are filled with intimate discoveries — tracks, glimpses of water and the intricate details of the bush. Through layered and intuitive mark-making, she evokes both the vastness and quiet intimacy of the natural world, combining gestural energy with a sense of nostalgia and personal reflection.

Creenaune exhibits nationally and internationally and has received numerous awards, including the René Carcan International Printmaking Award, Belgium (2016), and the Manly Artists’ Book Award (2013). Her lithographs have been selected for major international exhibitions including the International Print Triennial Krakow (2015), the Biennale Internationale d’Estampe Contemporaine de Trois-Rivières, Canada (2009), and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, London.

She has undertaken artist residencies in remote regions of Spain and Ireland and has been an invited artist and lecturer at KHiO National Academy of the Arts, Oslo; the University of Aberystwyth, Wales; and the University of Barcelona.

Creenaune’s work is held in public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the State Library of Victoria. In 2020, she was awarded Associate Membership (ARE) of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, UK.

She completed both a Bachelor of Art and a Master of Art at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, in 1997.
