About

Lani Burville is a visual artist specialising in watercolour painting based in central Queensland. Lani draws inspiration from everyday and mundane moments, with a particular interest in capturing light.

Her solo exhibition 'Reflections & Refractions' (2025) builds upon on this, focusing on how light interacts with transparent and reflective objects. Within the reflection, realities are warped, appearing different from each perspective.

Lani has been a finalist in art awards across Queensland including the Queensland Regional Art Awards, the Bayton Awards and Du Rietz Art Awards. Recent prizes include:

  • First Prize in Works on Paper, Brigalow Arts Awards 2025
  • Highly Commended Young Emerging Artist, Bundaberg Art Prize 2025
  • The Pieter Groen-int-woud Memorial Young Emerging Artist Award, Martin Hanson Memorial Art Awards 2024 for her work 'The Gravy Boat' (below).

Lani also delivers art workshops across the region. Follow on social media to stay up to date with future events.
