Eliza Blackwell (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist creating on Awabakal Country in Lake Macquarie, NSW. She works with printmaking (relief and intaglio), graphite, and watercolour.
Her work is influenced by anatomical and natural history illustrators, alongside artists Francisco Goya, Albrecht Dürer, M.C. Escher, and the Disability Art and Surrealist movements.
Her practice draws from natural history, scientific documentation, and lived experience. She uses art as a form of protest, challenging perceptions and demanding visibility for what society overlooks.
Currently working as a Gallery Assistant at Newcastle Art Gallery, Blackwell maintains a practice grounded in research, experimentation, and community engagement.
