Endurance with Jane Grealy

Jane Grealy is an Australian artist based in Queensland. Grealy has enjoyed a successful career as an architectural illustrator since 1979, whose work is based on observation of both existing and imagined buildings, landscapes and spaces. Although her transition to the art world came much later, Grealy’s architectural training has allowed her to hone technical skills in perspective and art media, while providing a liberating outlet for her creative pursuits. Since 2015, Grealy has gone on to feature as a finalist and prize winner for many national and international prizes. In 2019, Grealy was the winner of the Roy Skinner Works on Paper Award at Gympie Regional gallery. She was also named the People’s Choice and Highly Commended awards for Tattersall’s Landscape Art Prize 2018, and was the winner of the Andrew Fisher Portrait Prize in the same year. Other notable awards include the People’s Choice award for JADA in 2016, and she has been a finalist in the Adelaide Perry Prize for drawing for four years consecutively (2016-2019, 2023) and most recently winning the Dobell Drawing Prize #23 in 2023.

Her work is represented in the Museum of Brisbane Collection, Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award Collection, the Kedumba Collection of Australian drawings, National Art School, and in a number of private collections in Australia.
