Available to hire
I’m Nerida, a passionate Australian artist with a long history of art achievements dating back to 1988. My work spans Fine Art exhibits, Fashion Parades, Film and TV Costume Design, Book Illustration, and creating costumes for major music festivals across Europe.
I thrive on diverse creative challenges and collaborative projects, blending visual storytelling with practical design. My experience covers galleries, education, stage and screen, and I’m always eager to learn, solve problems, and share my craft in a friendly, approachable way.
