romany mollison.

Born in Melbourne in 1971, and now based in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Romany Mollison has spent the last 15 years refining her craft as a self-taught landscape painter working in oils to capture moments of stillness in rural landscapes. She is captivated by the emotive qualities of changing light, shifting seasons, and mist, with the aim of eliciting a sense of quiet, restorative calm for the viewer. Romany’s work ranges in size from intimate paintings on vintage timber to large-scale, immersive paintings.

Romany Mollison has held solo exhibitions around Australia, including at Salt Contemporary Art, Queenscliff; Red Gallery, Melbourne; Counihan Gallery, Melbourne; Michael Reid Southern Highlands, Berrima, NSW; and Art Images Gallery, Adelaide. Mollison has been shortlisted for a number of art prizes, including the Northern Beaches Art Prize (2017), Adelaide Hills Landscape Art Prize (2019, 2021), the Glover Prize (2022, 2023, 2024 – Australia’s most prestigious landscape art prize, for which she received a Highly Commended Award in 2023), and the Muswellbrook Prize (2025).
