Lisa Cahill

About

Lisa Cahill is known internationally for her kiln formed glass sculptures and installations including numerous public art commissions. After graduating from Monash University, Victoria in 2000 she has been an independent studio artist for over 20 years having established glass studios in Melbourne, Sydney and now Canberra. Cahill has been awarded numerous grants, international residencies and has been a regular finalist in the Ranamok, Tom Malone and Hindmarsh Glass Prizes. Exhibiting widely nationally and internationally, her work can be found in Public Collections in Australia, the USA, Denmark and the recently opened Sir John Monash Centre, Australian National Memorial, Villers-Bretonneux, France. Cahill’s glass installations create a discourse about the Australian landscape and her affinity with it, often entwined with her Danish heritage. Inspired by both the natural world and the transitory nature of the urban experience, Cahill’s dreamlike images invite viewers to draw associations with their own remembered landscapes, resulting in a meditative and emotional response.
